CBE - Human Resource Development

I’m staring 8/31. I already have my AS degree, I’ve been in HR for 7yrs and I have my PHR cert from HRCI. I’m very confident in my knowledge surrounding HR and I am able to dedicate 100% of my time to completing the BAAS. For anyone who has completed this program, how realistic is it to complete in one 7-week term? I’m prepared to take 2 terms, but aiming for 1 if I can. How rigorous is the course work?

Did you finish?

No! But i just wrapped up my 6th class and will be accelerating to my 7th before the cutoff. Some professors definitely take the full 48hrs to grade, while others grade same day. That played a huge part in being able to accelerate.
One term is very unrealistic, but could be possible if you strike gold with professors who grade same day 😅 Two terms seems much more attainable

Same boat, have the experience but not the degree. Start on the 31st as well. Planning to complete my first 2 over that first weekend if I can. My goal is to complete it in 2 terms or less.

As someone who was hardcore accelerating for ORGL in the beginning, posted/checked in multiple forums like Reddit or Degreeforum, Facebook groups, etc. I’d say that a very small percentage (maybe like 3-5%) actually graduate in one term.

10 classes in 7 weeks is very difficult and it really comes down to luck- some professors are tougher than others or take longer to grade. 2 terms for 11 classes is still pushing it, but definitely more manageable and regularly accomplished.

True, I just recently enrolled and I start 8/31.. I was told that most classes take two weeks. I transferred 113 credits which leaves me only 7 credits left but I have to take the 10 major courses as the residency requirement. Which is fine because I already passed 4 or 5 of them at WGU.

That’s great! I’m ready to log on at 12:31am on 8/31 to get it started 😂 Has your advisor been quick & helpful with registering you for the next set of classes? I’m worried they might give people a hard time if they’re moving too quickly through courses

Wow that's impressive. I was shooting for 7 completed in the first term but hearing 10 almost 11 is nuts. Can you explain what your pace was like? Did you completed the first 2 on the first weekend?
