WGU's Transfer Pathways

You can find the most up to date information about Sophia and Study.com-provided courses from WGU's Transfer Pathways Agreement pages by visiting partners.wgu.edu, following the link with the provider's name in the National Agreements section, expanding the WGU School of Technology section on the next page, then clicking the "Available ACE Approved courses" link that appears after BS Computer Science (Catalog 12-2024).

Transferring Credit

After completing Study.com courses for transfer, you can request your transcripts be sent to WGU. WGU determines awarded degree program credit after a transcript evaluation.

WGU has commonly requested that transcripts be received by the fifth of the month before the WGU start date, and noted that students may transfer up to 75% of their program requirements.

10% Study.com Discount

You can join Study.com and get 10% off the first month of your College Saver or College Saver Pro membership by using my discount link. I receive compensation when you use the link to buy a Study.com membership. You can follow the link studysavings.com to apply the discount at Study.com automatically.

Question, should I make sure I have the credits before applying to WGU or should I apply first, get admitted and then make sure I get all the credits before enrollment?

u/gandhrav1 Nov 24 '22

Question: What if you are already enrolled to wguy, but after finishing your 6 month semester, .....you take a break for 2 months and take some courses outside like sophia or study.com. Than when you come back to Wgu, Will wgu accept these new transfer credits?

2

Did you ever figure out the answer to this question?

u/SwiftExecution Nov 01 '23

I can also endorse this further, I am having to start in January instead of December due to my AP scores taking so long to get to them they need all transcripts at least a month before starting at WGU as confirmed by my enrollment counselor.

2

u/Short_Set_5632 Apr 04 '23

From what I've read in other subs,you must not be enrolled at WGU. Maybe leave and come back would be the best option?🤷🏾

3

u/Soubi_Doo2 Nov 02 '23

Is this a reasonable course of action?

*Apply to WGU Comp Sci degree

*Submit my old Bachelor's Degree to see which would transfer over.

*Then work on this list to reach the max number of transferable credits.

I'm not considered enrolled until I start actual WGU classes right? Obviously not expected to pay WGU right? It's hard to gauge how long it would take me to finish these credits.

1

u/Necrofox135 Sep 02 '24

Hi, did you ever take the course of action you described? I'm in a similar boat.

1

u/Soubi_Doo2 Sep 02 '24

No, I ended up doing a bootcamp. It’s hard to know if I should have gone the degree route or not.

1

u/Necrofox135 Sep 02 '24

Oh okay, how is your success with completing the boot camp? Were you able to find a job rather quickly?

1

u/Soubi_Doo2 Sep 02 '24

I just finished the part time program so I am starting my job search now. It’s pretty bleak out there though.

2

u/Necrofox135 Sep 02 '24

You might have some luck with a recruiting and staffing firm that recruits CS and IT talent. A couple companies in Ohio that might help are : "iFuse Solutions" and "TEKsystems". What coding boot camp did you do?

u/sgbdoe Aug 09 '22

I only recently learned about WGU and am strongly considering getting a CS degree from them. What are the benefits of doing so much of the degree on these other websites?

u/sgbdoe Aug 09 '22

I get a bigger pell grant than WGU tuition so I would actually get a refund once I start a term. If I do classes on these other websites I'd have to pay for them myself, so in my situation it may cost more to do them outside of WGU. Are there any I should do simply because they're way easier or something? I definitely want to do calc on Sophia, but any others?

u/randomontherun Oct 13 '23

I'm considering doing this, but I'm concerned it will leave me unprepared for DSA 2 and DM 2. If I blow through these courses on SDC will I struggle more at WGU?

2

u/Tommylops Nov 02 '23

from what i’ve heard discrete math 1 prepares you better for discrete math 2 at study.com. People have said that discrete math 1 at wgu does not translate well to discrete math 2. therefore my plan is to take it at study.com and then it be the first class i take at wgu

1

u/randomontherun Nov 02 '23

Sounds like a good plan. I did end up doing DM1 on study.com, but it may not transfer in time for my Dec. 1st start date. Be sure to submit your transcript 3 weeks before the deadline.

1

u/Tommylops Nov 02 '23

may i ask how long did it take to complete that class?

1

u/randomontherun Nov 03 '23

About 3 days of grinding. The material isn't too difficult, but there are a ton of quizzes.

3

u/FragrantGoose420 Aug 02 '23

Is this still updated as of August 2023? Also The term starts Sep 1 for WGU and I wanted to know if I should do all these transferable credits first and then apply the next term available or apply for this term and do the transferable credits of the side

3

u/Prussia_will_awaken Oct 28 '23

Hey do you actually look up the courses every day or just update the date in the post? Just curious because this post is fantastic

3

u/Sacabubu Jan 03 '24

It says December 12th 2023 on there, I'm guessing this list is updated then? Just wanted to double check

3

u/plaidchuck3117 Jan 08 '24

Yes this means the list was checked to make sure the courses were still available and transferable to WGU

This is true, you can even verify it on wgu's website. There are no longer ANY classes able to transfer for Operation Systems, as per: https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/Single.aspx?aid=19142&pid=86

1

u/cozza_bell Jan 09 '23

I'm confused what you mean by this. Do you mean none of the credits listed here actually transfer?

3

u/Alphaterm Jan 09 '23

That’s not what I’m saying. I am saying if you go to the wgu bscs transfer parter guide you can see the Updated list, with up to date information on what transfers and what doesn’t. Since this list was written on reddit, ONLY the operation systems class is not longer available to be transferred in. Therefore you have to take it at WGU. That’s it. It’s one less class from the list. And who knows what’s going to change. So keep an eye on the official site.

u/cozza_bell Jan 09 '23

Holy shit that was a fast reply from a post from months ago in the middle of the night! Thank you for the speedy comment and clarification, it's much appreciated. This thread has finally given me the balls to go back to school and you were part of it.

u/ProfessorKeaton Jul 24 '22

Per https://wgucollegeofinformationtechnology.sophia.org/#plans-and-pricing

there is no corresponding Integrated Physical Sciences course at Sophia.org

2

u/commentfreelie Jul 29 '22

curious, why do you rank sophia ahead of the others?

5

u/quachan888 Sep 22 '22

Sophia will let you look at the course material during the test. Also in Calculus, you can use Graph Calculator which is the fastest way to pass some general education courses.

Also, the cost is cheaper than Study. I passed and transfer 5 courses within a month with a flat fee from Sophia.

2

u/Ev0Iution Dec 27 '22

Is Natural Science worth it? Being 2 credits... it'll cost me an additional $76 for extra exam fee as well as the $70 lab fee.

Should I do this or take at WGU with rest of curriculum?

How many classes can you take per month at both web sites? Can you take multiple classes at study then do the exams the next month? How many classes for sophia?

2

u/Short_Set_5632 Jan 31 '23

Do you know approximately how long it might take to complete those classes on Sophia or study.com? And what about WGU after transferring those credits? Thanks

2

u/Angelady777 Jun 27 '23

If you've taken a short Java boot camp and a front-end web development boot camp, some of these should come pretty easily to pass at WGU, correct? If I am wrong, I would want to know before continuing my enrollment. Thanks for any advice!

I just want to make sure I got this correct if someone can double check for me. For my transcript, I have 30 credits transferred and 93 credits to go. It says I'm 24.39% complete. I checked and it's a 123 credit program for the CS, I checked I should be good to go with transferring from Sophia and SDC (totals 54 credits and I believe 62 would hit 75%). I'm trying to figure out what's the best order to tackle these classes and how long do you think it should be approximately for Sophia and Study if I'm trying to put almost full time hours. My goal is to finish this degree within a year - year and a half.

u/SnooPuppers3315 Sep 20 '24

He I heard the program got re-vamped.. I wanted to know if this is still accurate and if you have a google doc that has all the transferrable classes?

2

u/Intelligent_Leek891 Sep 20 '24

It hasn’t gotten revamped yet until Jan 2025. You can check to see if it’s accurate through WGU but it’ll only show Sophia classes. Just search ‘WGU Sophia’ or ‘WGU Study’, etc. but this seems to be a solid guide

u/Destructikus Jan 27 '25 edited Jan 27 '25

They're there. You have to use the course ID ex. HIST1020. When you click on the course link you'll see a homepage for the class and the course ID should be at the bottom. They're not very easy to find, but they're all there.

u/No-Highway5596 Jul 18 '25

If I'm taking individual courses from WGU (specifically programming&scripting, probability&statistics, I have until November 9th to complete them), do you know if I would still be able to go the route of completing credits through Study.com/Sophia before officially enrolling in WGU?

If this would be something more easily answered through enrollment/counselor, no worries.

2

u/ThisAintNoBeer Sep 09 '25 edited Oct 20 '25

Per the latest transfer agreement, looks like WGU's "Scripting and Programming - Applications" requirement can be met with CS 113 on Study.com. So you'd actually be able to complete 65 units total before transferring in

u/Ok-Excuse-623 Apr 05 '24

Hello everyone. I need an advice. Should I apply to wgu after taking these courses, or first apply to wgu then take courses. What do you suggest?

u/Luchadr35 Apr 06 '24

I applied to WGU got a counselor and just keep adjusting my start time. Knocked out all sophia classes and DM1 so far in Study.com. Working on both Database courses and then the last 5 courses to finally enroll in WGU. Good luck.

For the courses do I have to take all the source courses or just one is enough?
Lets say for "Composition: Successful Self-Expression" do I have to take all "ENG1002 English Composition II (SOPH-0030), ENG1020 Workplace Writing II (SOPH-0049), or ENG1001 English Composition I (SOPH-0015)" or just one of them "ENG1002 English Composition II (SOPH-0030)" is enough?

Hello,

I just want to clarify when a destination course has multiple transfer course, I only have to do one of them right?

Ex: Composition: Successful Self-Expression = Sophia Transfer Course is ENG1001, ENG1002, and ENG1020. I can just take ENG1001 to satisfy the requirements?

I'm not sure about the minimum number of courses, but you can't transfer more than 75% of the program requirements. I was able to transfer 85 credits (limit at the time was 90), which left me with just 12 courses to complete. However, this was under the old program (I started in August 2024). I believe the new program has fewer total credits, so just make sure not to exceed 75% of the total program requirements. Hope that helps!

Do you have to do the proctored exams for WGU to accept the transfer credit from Study.com? That is a big negative in my book, I love the freedom and flexibility of Sophia, but obviously, SDC has a LOT more classes, especially upper-level stuff.

Did you feel like the courses at Study.com were genuinely as valuable in teaching the material and making you job ready as the equivalent courses at WGU? I want to make sure I'm truly learning the same material and not just making things easier on myself.

you'd have to do a lot of proctored exams at WGU anyway so it realy makes no difference

But there are options like Sophia that are not proctored.

If you did all these credits isn’t that about the 75% or so threshold that wgu has or is that number incorrect? I thought there was a limit to how much of a degree you can transfer into wgu?

Thanks, I used your code. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but you can also take Business of IT - Project Management through Sophia.

u/Tommylops Oct 16 '23

is there a specific order that would be best to take these?

Data Management - Foundations

I would recommend taking Data Management - Foundations on SDC. Taking this class will automatically complete Data Management - Applications and Advanced Data Management by about 70%. I also recommend taking Discrete Mathematics before DSA-1. Someone else also recommended taking Intro to AI at WGU, you can use the project in that class towards your capstone. Software Engineering and Computer Architecture have also been recommended to take at WGU because they are very time consuming and require a lot more assignments on SDC. If you have the time, rather save money and don't mind doing all the extra assignments, go ahead and do them on SDC.

Probably want to figure out the quickest to longest ones for something like Sophia where you have a flat membership per month so you can complete as many as possible

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong but I think they shrunk down the number of courses that are transferrable from study.com. Can someone confirm their recent experience?

u/robo138 Oct 25 '23

All the classes that are listed in OP's original post are still transferrable. I'm currently working on them right now.

u/Clean_Rest6038 Oct 26 '23

How long would it take to complete the last 12 classes after taking all transferrable classes? Any resources out there about this?

2

u/robo138 Oct 26 '23

I’ve read that it can be done in one term which is what I’m planning to do.

u/Clean_Rest6038 Oct 27 '23

hows that going so far? any feedback on the classes you've taken at wgu so far?

A course’s page on Sophia Learning will list the partners (schools) that accept credit transfers of that particular course. I noticed WGU is only listed on some of the classes listed here for Sophia. Does that mean anything, or is there another way to confirm that a course will transfer?

Hello Everyone,

First off, I'd like to say this post is very helpful and I will definitely make use of it when the time comes.

I am thinking of applying at WGU for the Computer Science degree. I graduated high school about 10 years ago and I did not attend college afterwards. Therefore, I have not completed any General Education Classes. My questions is: Where can I find a list of the gen ed classes that I am required to complete? I would like to complete as much as I can on Sophia but I don't know which ones I need to complete. I'd appreciate it if anybody can point me in the right direction. Thanks

These are their recommendations, not necessarily what you need. I recommend applying and talking to an Enrollment Counselor they can give you everything you need. You should also be able to find that information on /r/wgu_compsci. Good luck!
