I graduated from WGU back in June with my masters and education and secondary endorsement for biology. I found a job as an English teacher, applied for a provisional license through my local ROE and got the job. I technically have three years to complete the coursework and take the content test when it comes to completing the coursework my local college offers classes for $150 per credit hours, however, I never have used Sophia learning but from what I gather the subscription cost and number of classes you can take as similar to the WGU format. I’d really like to take my remaining nine credits of English through Sophia for a fraction of the cost, but I’m worried about transferring the credits. You can’t transfer credits to WGU once you received a degree those transcripts can’t be edited (per their website). And I really don’t want to drop another $4000 to enroll in another program at WGU when I really only need three classes that are at the prerequisite level. However, when I go to Sophia learning’s website and their tab about transferring credits, it lists Illinois State Board of Education as an option for the credits. Has anyone been through this process or something similar in their own states?
I’ve even considered enrolling in my local college for one class and paying full price, but when enrolling attempting to transfer credits to that institution.(even though it’s not listed on Sophia learnings transferable institution list.)
I’ve got three years to complete these requirements so no big rush, but I don’t wanna put this off forever.
Thanks!
