This video is about the WGU Computer Science Bachelors Degree.
Computer science is one of the best majors (if not the best) that you can take if you want to set yourself up for success. But in order to get a computer science degree, you have to go to college... And college is very expensive and time consuming... Until now
Western Governors University offers a CS degree that you can easily get in less than 2 years (and in many cases much less than this). This is something that in many cases I have recommended to my consulting clients and those who have bought my paid products, but for the first time I'm starting to talk about it on this channel because it has gotten such amazing results that I really want to share it with the world and help as many people as possible.
These methods involve using study.com, straighterline.com, or sophia.org in order to test out of classes or take college credits externally (much faster and at a better price) before you start at WGU. Study.com, straighterline, and sophia are all good, but study.com in my (and others that have extensive experience degree hacking) opinion is the best. It has the most options, the best and fastest classes, and the least friction to transfer credits in.
Getting a WGU Computer Science accelerated degree is very easily done in less than 2 years of overall work, and in extreme cases it can be done in less than 6 months. And a WGU Computer Science degree is a respected degree, people who get it have amazing things to say about it and typically get job placement very quickly. My friend Josh Madakor for instance immediately got an offer from a FAANG company after getting his CS degree in 2 months.
Enjoy :)

Awesome resource! Any plans to make these for Masters degrees at WGU as well? I'm trying to pivot out of industrial engineering into data science and would love to know if/how the approach you give for computer science bachelor's degrees could be used for the data analytics MS at WGU as well.
Thanks Shane! So helpful 🙏🏻
Second time trying to respond to this comment lol... what is wrong with the youtube commenting system... Anyways: If there are enough requests I will make a video for all of the WGU degrees or at least the ones that are requested a lot!
@@ShaneHummus I saw earlier in your video the list of programs that have a spreadsheet, could I see the one for B.S. of Information Technology? I really enjoyed the video but I prefer IT over Computer Science. Thanks for sharing this hidden Gem!
@@ShaneHummus if you do end up making another sheet, please do one on Accounting and Business Admin.. I know ur thoughts on Business Admin but I am already getting a more specific degree and think a general Business degree would be easy and wouldn't hurt.
WGU is great for people who want a 100% online Comp sci bachelors degree (very few universities are 100% online) and also for people who want to work at their own pace. 6 months is EXTREMELY aggressive. As Shane mentioned, you're going to have to pregame. A lot. If you're starting from scratch, it's going to take years. I cannot recommend community college enough, get all of your gen ed out of the way through comm colleges, and most offer the gen ed courses online. ALSO, computer science degree != programming efficacy. It takes many, many, many months to become a good programmer, in most cases it takes years. No matter the route you take, IT'S SO WORTH IT in the end. Happy coding.
@@shyjy6241 Hey man. Honestly those are both incredible fields to get into, and they overlap in a lot of ways, meaning you can get similar jobs with either EE or CS degree. One thing would be do you prefer hardware and building tangible things, or do you prefer software like writing code. I think you can’t go wrong with either one, so do the one you could see yourself doing for many years to come :)
Omg UA-cam pruned my comment. I was just saying CS degree and getting into dev was the best choice I ever made in my career. More cushy, more comfy, more coins. Kinda steep learning curve, but totally worth it. And thanks Shane for featuring me ^^
How did I guess you would be here? 😅😂
Why is UA-cam doing this to my comments ugh. They let the fake spam comments through though 😩
You made this move at 36/37? I'm in this position now (same age), came from a decade in analytics but am now unemployed with lots of time to do another degree.
I LOVE YOU JOSH
@@tracy_cakkes thank you so much!
Shane you’ve saved so many people so much time and money. Thank you for what you do! Especially with this spreadsheet. Can only imagine how many hours it took to make that
I aim to please :)
Just a heads up for those interested, WGU uses a pass/fail system meaning that they do not calculate your GPA(your GPA will always be 3.0), this could be a turn off for those interested in pursuing a M.S. in a competitive Uni, but if you don't mind I'd say go for it.
Maybe, your GPA is always a 2.0 from the schools that I know that see a P/F. Some schools may weigh a P/F differently, so keep in mind of this if you apply for an MS.
Also, many employers I know of don't consider WGU credible since it's a purely online school. For a lot of online degrees to be credible, you may have to take an online program from an actual State University.
@@trevorscott3275 WGU is 100% credible, and the employers saying otherwise are ignorant of the direction higher education is going. As a matter of fact, Georgia Tech frequently accepts WGU grads into their Online MS in Computer Science (OMSCS) degree. You get to save a ton of money and time and then turn around and complete a master’s degree if you choose that's ranked top ten in the country. Otherwise, start the job hunt without any degree setbacks.
@@ltshellshock4168 Admittance to a master's program, an online one nonetheless, is leagues easier than getting into Georgia Tech as an undergrad. Most unis will take you as long as you can pay for it. I have to question the rigor of a CS program that can be completed in
Great point Miku. I know the traditional education institutions hate WGU because they are simply providing a better service for students at a much lower cost (which makes them look bad), so of course some of them aren't going to accept WGU. With that being said, Georgia Tech has a top 10 CS Masters degree program and accepts WGU grads. University Of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a top 15 public school and accepts WGU grads regularly. There are many more examples of options and routes you can go if you're a WGU grad.
...And to be honest, there are really only a few situations where getting a masters at one of these elite schools is really going to help you that much. I've done videos on the statistics behind this and students that get into elite schools, but choose to go to other schools end up making just as much money as those who get into elite schools and choose to go to those schools (at a fraction of the price). So going to an elite school is highly overrated, sure there are a few circumstances where it may help you because of the signaling/status of achieving an elite school, but overall it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to the average person (except that it costs you more)
Trevor, WGU is extremely credible. For instance, Josh went to WGU and then immediately got an offer from a FAANG company right afterwards. I've worked with many people that have had similar results. WGU and their grads have a great reputation, especially in the Tech world. Not sure where you're getting this info from
WGU is a fantastic school! Currently enrolled and about to graduate with a BS in Information Technology Management. The school is legit and the coursework is the same as any university. They are regionally accredited and 100% legit. As someone who thought the opportunity cost of college was not worth it, WGU is a life saver.
Are you 100% sure about that?
Glad you’re enjoying it!
@@Zaidi_227 Yes!
Can you do an update on job opportunities?
@@rrochs can you updated
I'm in Comp Sci at WGU, started 6/1 with 15% done from my old university. Today I am 32% done, as I completed 21 credits, 8 of which are Discreet Math 1 and 2. The latter class is the hardest in the degree allegedly. You guys got this!
You're well on your way!
I'm considering this degree path. Do you still like it?
@@RyanAmplification yeah but maybe engineering will be better for the job market, just maybe.
@@dioscoros did you finish the degree and are having trouble finding a job?
@@RyanAmplificationif your having trouble getting jobs try to do government tech or contracts
I love this man!
You're literally insane... and you share all of this information for free!
I appreciate that, happy to help!
Not sure what keeps happening to my comments, but I’m currently studying accounting at WGU and I love it. I’ve completed 5 classes in 2 months which isn’t a lot compared to a lot of people but it’s what I’m able to do while working full time with 3 kids. I don’t have accounting experience so I’m taking my time in the actual accounting courses but accelerating everything else. Study and Sophia only transfer to select schools so I chose to just do all courses at WGU. My local university accepts WGU degrees and I plan on doing my masters at my local university
How long would masters take ? if u transferred after ur bachelors and go to ur local university or state ?
@@TheErik1119 people complete their masters at WGU usually in 1 term from what I have seen. The masters is only 10 courses vs 40 course for the bachelors. I’m planning on using my WGU undergrad degree to get into a university for masters. I heard masters is very intense and there’s a lot more support I feel like at the local university especially for the CPA exam prep
The masters at a university usually takes about a year from what I have heard
You got this 💪
This is an EXCELLENT video 👍 Our Son just graduated High School and has a strong passion to Teach. Understanding that his salary would be low in comparison to the debt of a Secondary Education Bachelor Degree he found WGU. Now he's looking at getting his degree for 20k for a job he is passionate about. Thank you for highlighting the benefits of WGU!
So glad you enjoyed it!
This is what I’m doing Doing hw rn actually Takes a lot of effort especially after working all day but I love what I’m learning Josh has helped me a lot
So glad the videos helped you!
Thanks A Million for the google spreadsheet! Amazingly helpful!
For Udemy.. take advantage of your local library. Most libraries offer free access to Udemy courses with just your library card.
sir, you are veritably amazing! my wife and I will probably have some nice degrees soon, thanks to you
Best of luck!
Ohh woow that’s amazing, I really appreciate that man, god bless you
SHANE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WISDOM YOU SHARE WITH US!!! I really do appreciate you man, you are awesome 👏
My pleasure!! Cheers!
Hello hope all is well I start August the 1st Im super excited I just turned 30 and decided to finish my degree. I enrolled into the accelerated I.T degree which is giving me my B.S and M.S. at the end of the course. This video is super helpful I was able to bring over 46 credits with a remainder of 76 credits left. I'm fairly confident I can finish this in 6 months. I hope everyone takes this information seriously WGU is a game changer!
How it's going now?
@@demacianpolice507 not bad had a death in the family and it slowed the process a bit but I'm 51% of the way done, Its really just the Comptia certs that are time consuming to study for. everything else is easily attainable through the course work it's self.
@@ReddDragonGSX97 no unfortunately I finish in 2 weeks. My father passed away and it really took a toll. But I am done in August.
@@devaunmoore7659 Hope you were able to finish up and condolences about your father. I'm sure he'd be incredibly proud of you!
Hey how is it ? And how long the process took you and what degree you got at the end ?
Hey Shane. A very interesting idea you've presented in this video. I'm currently about to start my second year of community college, and I plan to transfer somewhere (not 100% sure yet) to get a CS degree. Needless to say, your videos have given me a lot of confidence about my major choice😁
I've recently started looking at online colleges since they tend to be cheaper than other colleges (no room & board) and I will definitely be looking into WGU.
Let me know how it goes!
Transfer to a bigger college?
Appreciate all the work you put into this and for sharing this with us! Can’t wait to graduate with a computer science degree! 😊
My pleasure! You got this!
i have a 6 month tuition reimbursement from my job at amazon warehouse and starting WGU on 3/1/23 hopefully im working as a SWE in 2024
congratulations.
Wait Amazon pays for your college?
How Did it go?? Update!
One thing, to get accepted into an it program you MUST have either: an it certification or 2 years experience in the field. You can also go to the WGU academy which essentially is precollege classes to get you accepted if you are missing prerequisites. That's what the counselor told me when I was applying for an it program.
That's true for most IT but for computer science you need pre calc or calculus 1 which you can do at straighterline and transfer it over to WGU.
If you have an AA, AAS, or bachelor and above that is waived
Great point Thunder, this is why I would highly recommend that you pregame the certs. If I get enough requests I'll do a video on the IT program as well.
Not true, for compsci you just need calc
@@Astrosive they accept that credit?
They do two six month terms instead of semesters and if you finish all the courses you took in a term, if you have time you can take more. Whether you take 1 class or 30 classes its the same like $4000 per term.
Wow, pre gaming is looks very interesting. But, I already enrolled to WGU. Anyway I can put a lot of time and try to pass quickly as I can. Thanks for information.
this was very useful, i graduated with my AA degree 6 year ago, so I'm hoping i can transfer a majority of classes. and i didnt know i could pre game some of those classes. very useful information.
I transferred in all gen eds through my AA. I have 32% complete but that's because I took a couple other courses previously like calc andna couple programming classes. I think if I just had the AA then it would maybe be 25%. But also if your AA includes classes outside the gen eds then you will be above 25%
Please note that this degree is not doable in 6 months if you're brand new to tech. Josh Madakor had years of experience and a previous I.T. degree.
Yeah it's hard. You can't do the WHOLE PROCESS in 6 months, but if you transfer and pre-study, the "leftovers" are definitely doable in 6 months :). You'll be relatively strong by the time you actually enroll at WGU. 💪
@@JoshMadakor Hi, would you share what extra material, if any, you used for discrete math studies?
@@marib9907 it’s on his channel already
I managed to finish a huge portion of my associates with SNHU with Sophia classes, I finished an associates of arts in like six months. I'm working on a bachelors of CS but I kind of want to try this for the rest lol
Wow. That's amazing and pretty valuable. Thanks,bro.😊👍
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for all the hard work and gems.
Just got admitted at WGU and even though I've studied at 4 different universities before WGU only 4 classes have been transferred. There transfer policy is not generous at all.
Great video, Shane! Subbed.
Awesome video! Could you do this with the other majors? Specifically the Data Management/Analytics degree. Also, does this process work with the Masters degree programs?
Awesome video! Looks like there is a Data Management/Data Analytics Degree offered at WGU. Can you compare the Comp Sci against that degree? I am looking into a Data Analyst path but that specific degree isn't offered at a lot of other schools.
So sad that WGU does not accept students outside the US except from Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
I want to get into IT but i have very little experience. It will probably take me at least 3 years to get my B.S. while working full-time. I havent been to college in 25 years!
Do SNHU instead. They're fully online but they also have a brick and mortar school in New England.
SNHU is great too
But very pricey. I guess you left that out.
@@StillTheVoid it's slightly more than WGU
Hi Shane, I'm Brazilian and I was very interested in taking this CS degree at WGU. But I saw on their website that they only accept people who live in the US, they can be foreigners, but they have to be living in the country. Do you think it's possible for me to do it here in Brazil? Could you tell me what documents they require? I could also do an exchange and use this time in the US to do this degree but not live permanently.
Following
@AF-dn7hi so I searched more here on UA-cam and saw a video called 'international student at WGU' and I think is a German guy that studied there. He says that you can get accepted but it's not 100% sure. Because in his case, he had to insist a little and WGU don't accept studied from other countries because structure for much more students.
Hello is this up to date ?
I kinda see it as just a nice thing to have, you can do whatever you want to do, and in your resume it says Bachelor of CS, which gives you the opening to get some weird respect from HR here or there, like do IT get CompTIA certs and have this degree in your CV so you won't get autofiltered out by AI programs or human recruiters who are adamant about IT people having a BS in CS for some reason. Or mix a CS degree with a prestigious Law degree and do niche forms of law like scientific stuff or tech law, maybe AI law. Heck, just from having Calculus I you could get a lot of respect and possibly get into say like Goldman Sachs and do Financial modeling if you have the other resume cookies.
Can we do master in any university after having bachelor degree from WGU?
Very good video and new information! I was getting worried because Shane has been just putting the same information in different videos. I thought about stop watching but this video gives me hope that he still has ideas for new material
So basically the way I make content is 1) Suggestions and 2) If I'm really passionately about a certain subject I will go on binges where I study and research that subject deeply for a short time. I'll be going over a lot of different forms of what I like to call "Alternative Education" over the next few months. Schools like WGU/Certifications/Bootcamps/Online Learning/Apprenticeships/Internships etc will be on the agenda over the next 3-6 months, so stay tuned!
@@ShaneHummus Good. I am very interested in alternative education and I’m sure many other people are as well
I see comments are 1 yr old. Is the google doc still updated? Also - pre-requirements or I missed it?
Shane, I think the spreadsheet HOME button isn't working. Good video though
Do you have spreadsheets for the other degrees as you mentioned in your videos? I can not locate the other spreadsheets.
I need one for information management services degree which I’m trying to pursue.
Thanks!
Thank you Christina! Appreciate the tip!
Okay I am planning to enroll Aug 1st 2023! Currently catching up on the degree with sophia courses
Update?
@@jumpropemf yeah im like halfway done with the degree
amazing video you hit the nail on the head and the side of the bed and it was so sick because i love you
Thanks for this info shane! Can youbdo the same with TESU?
Id previously enrolled to WGUs program in Data Analytics but never got to pass my first course in intro of IT because there were ALOT of material that was not covered in the course and was a proctored exam. Never passed the course ended up quitting it because i kept failing it even after spending 50 hours studying.
Keep this in mind: as far as Tech Programs go in these majors, WGU does NOT have assignments or reports you can submit to make up for it...it is an EXAM ONLY environment and for some of us...its difficult to pass.
From my research, wgu is best for people that already have knowledge in the field. Like some one who has a few certs and has worked in the field for a few years. Those people can power thru the course material because they already know it.
@@lewtown Nah i dont think it was about that. Its just when you dont tell your students, hey...these computer courses you're taking: are just guidelines for the real thing and are not really the questions you'll see on the one and ONLY final test for the course.
I'm like: WHAT THE FUCK...Why havent I been told about this EARLIER before I enrolled?
This was in 2020. I'm not sure whats changed. It just the normal method of classes is so engraved in my brain, I can't seem to function my studies without it.
@@StillTheVoid I think it might have changed since 2020, saying this as a guy who literally just took that EXACT intro to IT course/test today. like a few hours ago, lol. Course material lined up fine, and for people like me, I'd prefer one single test any day (compared to multiple assignments).
I have heard that some courses don't line up incredibly well with the exam, but reddit is a good place to go and see. There are a ton of people on the reddit regularly posting about each class, giving advice on what to study, how well exams line up, etc.
Sorry about your experience though, that sucks. Seems like it's better now.
Sorry you had this experience with them. It doesn't seem to be the general feedback I hear from the many people I have worked with that went to WGU.
I highly recommend going the WGU subreddit if you ever try to take a shot at it again as they typically have really good strategies for how to pass the different classes.
@@ShaneHummus Nah, I tried that route. The thing is Intro to IT is very easy...what's not easy is that they expect and treat the final exams as if its the actual CompTIA. And I spend HOURS on end getting the material and studying it and still don't meet it.
I'm like fuck it...so I went to UoP...and what a surprise, was able to learn more by assignments and projects and aced my courses as I should have as a student.
Another thing that should've been in this vid is how all those courses you're taking is capable to be transferrable to another institution for your Masters or PhD whatever.
Will I try again? Probably not after what we learned how fragile and short life is and not be so reliable on our employers to throw us a bone for chump change.
Glad I have a backup plan. ;)
Awesome vid. Can you come out with WGU's Cybersecurity B.S. Degree next and provide the worksheet for it!?
Yessir, I can do that!
@@ShaneHummus I appreciate tha so much! I am transferring next school year & want to become a blockchain developer. A quick cybersecurity degree would look great on my resume!!
When i click on the link to the google sheet, I am just seeing the CS course, not the main sheet which also consists of the path that I have to follow to get my Degree in Data Analytics. Where can I find the sheet that is shown in the video? Reference: 4:47min
Thank you for this video!!!!
You're welcome!
Would you recommend getting A+ certified and learn a coding language before enrolling, or would i be fine going into this with only a Google IT cert?
Actually the guy who invented this was NOT Shane it was a guy called Josh Madokur and he got A+ cert and got work in IT first so it might help to at least get A+ Network+ and get good at Python then grab your BS in CS
sorry but, we should subscribe for the transfer college credit program? it cost 200+ bucks per month, isnt cheap at all
I'm starting a computer science degree here. Im a full-time over the road truck driving trainer, and chatGPT recommended WGU to me. I don't really want to blast through the courses though, unless i feel like I'm absorbing the material. It would be awkward to go through all the courses and forget most of it right?
Anyone have any advice on this?
I wanna go to this school right out of high school for computer science but i dont know if i should
Hi, Shane, could you please make a video for Software development(C#) from WGU. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Be ready to work relentlessly and you can finish in under a month.
By doing this though does it save money?
I was thinking about getting into WGU but now im not so sure, this all seems like too much work and too confusing.
Hi Shanne
Does the final diploma states that was online course?
WGU is not available for students living outside of United States 😭.Do you have any recommendation for people not living in United States?
Hey I checked with WGU and only students based in the US can enroll. Can you suggest anything fastrack for international students ?
WGU university offers only for US citizens sir can you please talk about other legit online university that is worldwide just like WGU.
Who ever is out of US they ran out of options.
US citizens or US residents ?
@@thereality3398 if you've the perment residence card then you'll get.
Hi Shane I’m international student living in the USA . I am studying business at a community college and I want to study cs at wgu at the same time. Is it possible? Is it worth it ?
Thank you for the information really valuable!!
You got it!
Any advice on choosing between Sof. Dev and CS?
I'd go with CS for brand name recognition
I am studying in highschool. Can i get bachelors in computer science? How much time it will take and Can I go for Ms after completing it?
Great as always Shane! I have a question for you. If you had to choose between a Management Information Systems degree or a Computer Information Sytems degree, which would you pick and why? Thanks
Are you talking about Bachelor degree or Associates of Applied Science?
@@richardsalazarzm4425 bachelor degree
MIS is for sure a better option.
They're both good but MIS is better. Too much to explain in a comment but MIS focuses on the business side of things a bit more and typically it's a good idea to have a skill that directly leads to the business making money
@@ShaneHummus or you can do a combination like i did, its a really strong qualification
Does getting a WGU bachelor's degree hamper your chances if let's say you wanted to continue graduate school in a top school?
Is this still updated?
I’m scared of this degree not gonna lie it’s either cybersecurity or this one
is this up to date? Great information by the way, thank you so much for your hard work
Thanks for watching!
That's why I always say computer science is a useless degree to spend 4 years in college. You can become software engineer in few months.
Thats the mentality of people who thinks CS consists of only coding.
@@bat1man053 It is all about coding lol... almost 85% CS grads do coding so why to go college?
@@bat1man053 even everything in CS is related to coding more specifically software engineering is only coding... app development, web, game, cybersecurity everything includes coding.
@@nycto16 lmao absolutely not. Saying CS is all about coding is like saying mechanical engineering is all about autoCAD. CS is a mathematical discipline and you can't even think of going into more advanced fields in CS without a proper mathematical background.
There are good arguments on both sides and it really depends on your goals. There are some positions that it is really tough to get into without a college degree. Some positions very easy to get into with bootcamp. It really depends on your skills/situation/goals etc.
No international students?
Unfortunately no they don’t accept international :/
@@ShaneHummus thanks
Thanks man, I was thinking this was click bait but man was I wrong😅
Informative , thanks again!
This is definitely for people who already are fsmikiar with coding. If you are not, you will take most likely a yesr or 2...not months like these giys. They are just being sponsored
Is there an update for this for 2024? or is this the same?
Is computer science down from 25 to 22?
Ive never attended college. Can I complete this bachelors degree within 2 yrs? Or less? I have no transferable classes or transcripts
Sure..everyone starts college at some point without previous college experience, transcripts, transferable classes.
I’m interested in the “software development” degree. When I click the “back home” link on the excel sheet for computer science, it won’t take me back to view all the degrees. Can you please provide me with the software development excel spreadsheet? It would be much appreciated!
Will be doing that one in the near future!
Hi Shane, great cheatsheet. The back home button is not working tho. I want the network engineering and security cheatsheet.
I just started today with the accelerated BS & MS In IT! Hope I can finish within a year by Gods grace
Best of luck!
you are amazing!
No you! :)
is the google docs still being updated?
Commenting to see if he answers you here, I'd also like to know
Should I still pursue a bachelor degree if I already landed a developer job?
If your company pays for it, you have the spare time, and it will develop your skills and resume and potentially get you a raise it's a good move IMO.
Hey Shane, can you consider making a video about becoming a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and how to reach it or Requirements. I know it is not an entry level job though
I'm actually pretty close to starting a blog where I would go over niche idea requests like that, stay tuned as I think I'm gonna be working on it within the next month or so
@@ShaneHummus That would be great ! Your videos have always been of great help in deciding what it is I want to do.
Great help to humanity
Thank you!
I'm interested in the Cloud Computing Path, but how do you get to that tab?
I have a lot of advanced math classes under my belt. However, I took them over 20 years ago. Can I still transfer in those classes?
I also have a very old (2004) outdated CCNA and official training in CCDA (didn't take that test). Can I transfer those out not?
I was an older student too. I went the traditional route for my degree, recently. The universities I went to said that math and science classes couldn't be no more than 7 years old. So I wasn't able to transfer just two of my classes over because I had completed them in year 2000. According to some universities (per Google search):
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) courses have a 10-year shelf-life. This is typically because advancements in the field evolves the understanding or practical methodologies used within them. A rule of thumb: If your STEM courses are older than 10 years, they may not transfer.
certs have a 5 year shelf life
Hi Shane, thanks for your awesome videos. You are honest about the information you provide and love to help others, specially students. I was about to enroll in a normal 4 years degree, you saved me a lot of money and time. I am interested in business degrees but not sure on which one to get, do you recommend me to get a bachelor in business from WGU or it's better to get it from a normal universities that offer 4 years degree ( bachelor)? Can you make as same as this video for business degrees that WGU offers?
Is WGU regionally accredited and respected or it is a worldwide respected university?
My man, keep helping students because your content is honest and students are relying heavily on your videos. Thank you again and god bless you brother.
I will definitely make some WGU videos about business bachelors degrees! Stay tuned. And yes every WGU degree has good placement rates
@@ShaneHummus Awesome, I’m waiting for that.
Hi Shane, great vid and new sub! could you please make a similar video for International students? Or a European alternative to WGU? Thank you 😊
I'm looking into this for sure.
Is this still possible ?Even having a full time job
Time management is the key
@ShaneHummus I have most of my associates credits and I'm doing the comptia then finishing my bachelor's in cloud computing at wgu. Do you think I could complete the degree after my certification within a year working part time?
Good job Shane, btw if I get a WGU degree could I use it to get an Accelerated degree in other U? Keep it up!!
Like transfer the credits from to a different university? I'm sure there are some that accept, but typically they are all in the competency based education/accelerated university ecosystem. So it would kinda be pointless imo to transfer it. But that is a pretty creative idea, maybe try it out!
@@ShaneHummus I see😅, sure Shane, thanks for the advice 🙏
Hey Shane. I'm in my last year of High-school and I wanna study Economics, Business and Management Information Systems or so other useful tech course. Is this good or too much
Depends on your goals but management information systems is one of my favorite majors
@@ShaneHummus ok Well, my goal is to be an economist but also work for tech companies (eg gaming companies) so doesn't it mean I'll have to do all 3?
Great video dude
Appreciate it!
@@ShaneHummus do a video on computer science vs dental school ?
I am interested, I from Pakistan
what do you do if you have no extra credits from out of highschool?
Is the degree from WGU actually well respected? Because I see that for computer science you just need to do calculus 1. But in my college. I had to do calculus 1,2 and 3 and Linear Algebra.
In my state university they only see calculus 1 and discrete math 1, but we have grads all over FAANG. I dont think you need that much calculus for CS, basic derivatives and big concepts like derivatives being slopes or integrals being the area under a curve should be fine for most people.
That being said, im not a CS major
Same...almost. Had to do all of calculus classes and Discrete Mathematics.
How long is your promo code good for? Also do you have to pay for the 3 months up front or do you pay month by month for three months and it gives the discount each month until the fourth month?
I think you pay month to month and yeah good for 3 months. Should be good in perpetuity
@@ShaneHummus Cool thanks.
The link only shows the computer science degree program, it does not show the selection menu for the other degrees listed.
Yes, just computer science for this video.
Josh has a list of the other available degrees
