=== Taking Alt Credit Courses Not on a Equivalency List===
=== Doing Certifications at WGU vs Transferring Them In ===
If you want to take courses from [[Study.com]] for example, it is best to get those courses approved before taking them.  Contact the SNHU advisor to get courses approved.
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
 
Use this [https://partners.wgu.edu/transferguidelines It Certification Exams Equivalent Guide] to find certifications that will transfer to this degree program.  (For example, adding CompTIA A+ & ITIL Foundation certs will add 12 transfer credits to this degree)
 
=== Advantages of a Software Development Degree ===
 
* Made for software engineers
*Easier and quicker than Computer Science degree, very little math required
* Flexible degree that can be used for a large variety of careers such as coding or IT
 
=== Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses ===
=== 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, starting with non-CS courses. Once those are completed, do CS courses leaving Java/Intro programming and Data Structures for last.
Start with [[Sophia.org]], 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 other alternative credit courses.  
===How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits? ===
Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU and max of 3 courses per term once you done a couple of terms. At that rate, it would take 8 to 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.
=== Source of Credit===
This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.
