Degree Plan[edit | edit source]
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.
Check With State Licensing Requirements[edit | edit source]
Be sure that WGU is approved by the state you want to teach in. Also check any other requirements the state may have.
Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses[edit | edit source]
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?[edit | edit source]
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.
