== Degree Plan == Here is a Degree plan for [[Western Governors University]] (WGU) as of approximately June of 2023. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan. The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take. === Doing Certifications at WGU vs Transferring Them In === Certifications are free at WGU, so it's optional if you want to pay the fees to transfer in certifications. You would want to do certifications outside WGU if: * You wanted to maximize the 90 credits of transfer credits * You were trying to do a WGU degree in 1 term or few terms as possible === Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses === Start with Sophia, do English Composition first. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so after you start English Comp, do a course that doesn't have any touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, start doing Study.com courses. === How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits? === How long to complete depends on various factors such as experience, time commitment, the efficiency of studying, etc. However, considering you spend at least 20 hours a week on your studies, completing this degree should take 1-2 terms.Β === Source of Credit === This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits. https://partners.wgu.edu/ [https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Organization.aspx?oid=76099b28-9016-e811-810f-5065f38bf0e1 Sophia ACE Guide] [https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Organization.aspx?oid=82099b28-9016-e811-810f-5065f38bf0e1 Study.com ACE Guide] == General Education Requirements == {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ !Course !Competency Units Value !Course Provider !Course Name !WGU Credit |- |Composition: Writing with a Strategy |3 |Sophia |English Composition I |3 |- |Introduction to Communication: Connecting with Others |3 |Sophia |Pubic Speaking, Workplace Communication, Business Communication |3 |- |Global Arts and Humanities |3 |Sophia |Visual Communications (Lots of other options from Sophia) |3 |- |World History: Diverse Cultures and Global Connections |3 |Sophia |US History II/I or Macro/Microeconomics |3 |- |Applied Algebra |3 |Sophia |College Alegbra |3 |- |Integrated Physical Sciences |3 |Sophia |Environmental Science or Human Biology or Chemistry |3 |- !Totals !18 ! ! !18 |} == Core Courses == {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ !Course !Competency Units Value !Course Provider !Course Name !WGU Credit |- |Human Growth and Development Across the Lifespan |3 |Study.com |Psychology 103 or Psychology 107 |3 |- |Introduction to Psychology |3 |Sophia |Introduction to Psychology: Smarter Decisions Through Psychology |3 |- |Introduction to Sociology |3 |Sophia |Intro to Sociology |3 |- |Anatomy and Physiology I |4 |Study.com |Biology 201L |4 |- |Anatomy and Physiology II |4 |Study.com |Biology 202L |4 |- |Clinical Microbiology |4 |Study.com |Biology 107L |4 |- |Pathophysiology |3 | | | |- !Totals !24 ! ! !21 |} == Additional Courses == {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ !Course !Competency Units Value !Course Provider !Course Name !WGU Credit |- |Applied Healthcare Statistics |4 |Sophia |Foundations of Statistics or Intro to Statistics |4 |- |Introduction to Chemistry |3 | |Chemistry 111L |3 |- !Total !7 ! ! !7 |} == Non-Transferable Courses == {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ !Course !Competency Units Value !Course Provider !Course Name !WGU Credit |- |Critical Thinking: Reason and Evidence |3 | | | |- |Health & Wellness Through Nutritional Science |3 | | | |- |Medical Dosage Calculations and Pharmacology |3 | | | |- |Foundation of Nursing |3 | | | |- !Totals !12 ! ! !0 |} == Total Transfer Credit == {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ !Course !Competency Units Value !Course Provider !Course Name !WGU Transfer Credit (Max 75%?) |- |General Education Requirements |18 | | |18 |- |Core Courses |24 | | |21 |- |Additional Courses |7 | | |7 |- |Non-Transferable Courses |12 | | |0 |- !Total !61 ! ! !46 |} <small>*To copy this degree plan, hold down left mouse button, drag to select tables, then copy/paste (CTR+C/CTR+P) to Sheets or Excel.</small> [[Category:Degree Plans]][[Category:WGU]]
