Currently looking into this program. Im kind of nervous to go back to real school. The past few years I've just been getting certificates. It's almost June 2024 and I just would need to be finished with the degree before December of 2025. This video is assisting with hopefulness. Thanks for sharing
I love your videos and am so glad I've stumbled onto them! I'm a mid-30's mom in Silicon Valley and have been unemployed for nearly a year out of Tech. I am (finally) finishing my AA Degree(s) in English and Liberal Arts next month. I have applications in to several CSU, but I am realizing the cost and time associated with these "traditional routes" are daunting - and I'm learning that most positions I'm going to apply for require Masters in Psychology. I have the hyperfocus ability to get through classes quickly - in my specific case of needing a Bachelor's AND Masters - would Capella be the way to go, or do you have alternative suggestions?
I can probably help you find something better than Capella. Shoot me an email with a little more info about what you're goals are, and I'll help you map something out. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
Hey there! I am in the same boat! I would love some info on a masters hack for clinical psychology if you have one! As stated before, the length and tuitions are daunting. Any info would be amazing! I am super stoke about WGU with a BS/BA in Psychology. Gosh, I wish it was a masters program! Thanks a bunch!
@@franiem.6468 I totally agree... I wish WGU had a Masters in Psych as well. If you're serious about accelerating the Master's there are still some options. Shoot me an email and I'll see if I can help you map something out (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
I almost graduated with a double major but at last minute I dropped psychology because I disliked research. I only needed 3 classes to finish the program. 5 years passed by and I regret it immensely. I can’t afford another degree right now, so I guess this might be a good choice for me. I would like to get my masters in psychology too and go back to research.
The one weakness of WGU is that they aren't great at accepting transfer credits from past schools. They'll accept some, but you may lose a lot. If you're only a few classes away I'd suggest UMPI's Your Pace programs. They have a psychology program and you'd likely get a lot more of your past credits accepted.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 Thank you!! I am awaiting for UMPI to get my transcripts. WGU got back to me and accepted 49% of the program complete, but hopefully I get more with UMPI. Will let you know! You are awesome 🫡
I was looking for more exam based when I went back to school. UMPI has a lot of milestones/assignments before you can access the final. Also, they have a lot of writing. I write a lot for my job and would prefer an exam over writing as a final. WGU has limited degrees. However, this psychology degree is interesting.
This is perfect, because I'm looking to get into a MSW program. In order to do so, I don't need a BSW...just BS degree with a 3.0... The MSW degree is usually 2 yrs full time, 3 yrs part time.
Basically the entire internet. You figure out what you're going to be tested on, then go and learn it on your own. I teach my systems and processes for this inside my Degree Hacking Academy program. Here's a look: www.DegreeHackingAcademy.com
Hi, Ryan! I might be switching to WGU from UMPI. However, I was wondering if you had any knowledge on the psychology program being more exam-based rather than projects-based. I'm attending UMPI right now, and it involves writing a lot of papers throughout the term. Personally, I would prefer something that caters to a learning style that involves more learning/reading the material and then being tested on what you learned. Looking forward to your response! Take care!
WGU takes the exam based approach. I like how they do things a lot more than UMPI. For Essay based classes you basically write a final essay instead of an exam... but if you get a passing grade, you're done. Most classes are multiple choice exams. If you'd like help with this, shoot me an email. I can likely help you save a lot of time (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
Yep, they use a Pass/Fail grading system. Most people assume this will be a problem, but it rarely is. 7 out of 8 Ivy League schools have accepted WGU grads into their Master's programs. I'd reach out to the school you're wanting to attend to double check, but it's usually not an issue.
What is the reputation and validity of these programs? For example, when applying to a clinical psychology master's program in Europe, can we ensure the same value and recognition as a traditional on-site program and be accepted? Thanks
I wish I knew this weeks ago!! 😭 I just got accepted and enrolled into UMPI weeks ago and start on March 11th. Is there any way to switch schools this suddenly? Also, I’m a US citizen currently visiting with family in the Philippines for several months. Would that affect anything?
Stay with UMPI, they are much better than WGU. I tried WGU and i can say they are awful plus all the exams are proctors. I signed up with UMPI and I am also starting march 11th.
You can likely still switch. And I don't agree with the person here saying UMPI is better than WGU. Having proctored exams is actually a good thing. That's why Ivy League Schools accept WGU grads. Because they know students didn't cheat their way through the degree. There are still plenty of hacks that make proctored exams easier. Shoot me an email with a little more info about what you're goals are, and I'll help you map something out. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
So I think what this guy doesn’t consider is the peoples style of learning. I went to WGU and it’s definitely wasn’t for me because all test are proctors and they give you tons of info to study. Yes you can use other resources but you have to absorb info by just reading it. Some people are better at hands on or project based and absorb info that way which makes UMPI a better school. I kno his favorite is WGU but he is going to talk about hacking college then he should talk about other schools as much as he tried to get you into WGU
UMPI is a great school as well. WGU is one of my favorites, but it's not for everyone. Having said that, if you follow my Degree Hacking process you shouldn't have to be reading textbooks. You can learn however you want to learn. Step 1, figure out what you need to learn. Step 2, learn it... in whatever style you'd like. Step 3, test out of the class. UMPI does work for some people. It just takes longer to get through project based class. But if that's what you like, keep rolling and get that degree!
@@SaraEbrahimi-n1q Sorry to hear that you had to drop out of WGU. I hope you find a program that works for you. It's super important with ANY of these schools... If you follow their "system" it takes a normal amount of time to graduate. Figure out what you need to learn, learn on your own, then prove competency.
Brother i got 72% marks in 10th and 35% marks in 12th . I am interestes in bs marketing will any university give me admission? Also kindly guide some university that charge module base and total fee is less than 5k $.
As long as you graduated High School, you should be ok. You may have to take a few classes provisionally before you're given full acceptance but you can still get in. The best school is going to depend on what majors you're wanting to earn, and your learning style. Shoot me an email and I'll see if I can help you find a solid path. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
Can you tell me approximately How early can i complete Marketing degree (undergraduate btw) with the help of your program if I religiously dedicate 20 hours per week on studying(as an average student straight out of high school)
In 20 hours a week most of my students will hit 6 to 12 months. But I've had students hit 3 months in about that amount of time. Shoot me an email and we'll see if the program is a good fit (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
I've helped students get full Bachelor's Degrees as fast as 3 months. So already having an Associate's makes it possible for even faster. Having said that, every student is different. Some students are better at taking exams, some are faster learners. So it does depend on you. Shoot me an email if you'd like... I'm happy to help you shoot for record breaking speed. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
These Pass/Fail programs are a lot more common than they used to be. It's pretty rare to see it cause problems with admission down the road. You can get into Master's programs at most of the Ivy League Schools with a Pass/Fail undergrad. Unless you've had specific schools tell you they won't accept a degree from a Pass/Fail grading system, I'd verify with these schools before you make the assumption.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 I can only speak to the science-y programs I’ve looked into. Both Speech Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy expect a higher gpa to get in. It maybe I’m Focused on the more competitive degrees.
Hey Ryan I'm from Singapore just want to ask if this works outside of US. Is the WGU Psychology degree accredited and can the accredition transfer internationally? I've been to university and dropped out after 5 years in it (only finished 3 semesters worth). Your method, it sounds great, I'm done with the whole "college campus experience for youths" thing. The only problem I met was well you mentioned it. How scarce online programs are in this subject.
I mean definitely psychologist registration differs from places to places, but usually they require some post grad classes. And you're saying this WGU Psychology Degree is enough for those Ivy League post grad entry requirements...?
