You are correct about the tenacity of the programs. WGU is not trivial and it's great to hear someone on TH-cam or any social actually admit this fact. You are a great resource and are providing a great service. Thank you!
I graduated too! It was a fun keeping up with you lol
Congratulations. That is awesome you are done too. Are you planning on doing a masters degree?
@@backtoschool4845 Possibly OMSCS at Georgia Tech. It's pretty cheap but a lot harder than WGU. You should check it out, you might like it
Waiting for my capstone results to come back, I’m pumped about finishing my degree
CONGRATS, Andy! You're officially official! 🤣 Way to go & thanks for outlining the path to graduation so well! Enjoy your break!
Just completed my final class today! So excited to be done! Congrats on your degree as well!!!
Aww. Great confetti screen! I love it and you presented it well along with all of the other information. Thank you sir!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have followed your journey and you literally added to my inspiration to finish my degree. I started 4/1 and have 2 classes down already on my 3rd. Started with 87cu's to complete and at 81cu's in 7 days. Congrats on the graduation!!!!
Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Makes taking the time to do the videos worth it. I hope you are still zooming through your classes.
I just want to say thank you! Your videos helped keep me motivated and I was able to finish my degree in just 5 months.
Congrats bro! I've been following your videos during my WGU journey. Thank you for providing these. They have been a big help and also encouraging. Salute! Go Titans!
Congrats! Thanks for sharing your journey along the way. Well deserved.
Thank you Shaun.
Your videos helped me so much throughout my degree program, thank you so much, and Congratulations!
Congratulations!! I just completed my capstone and wasn't sure what the next steps were. Your video fully explained what I can expect in the next few weeks. Thanks so much ;-)
I just officially graduated today! Got my ribbon and my confetti. Your video helped me calm down and wait for the process to work after my last class. Thank you SOOO much.
Thank you for sharing your journey Andy and Congratulations amazing job! WOW! It's been a lot of fun following along with you.
Thank you Dan. I hope you are doing well.
Congrats!!! Been following you since you began and you have helped me so much just maintaining the nerve to keep going. Thanks so much for posting about your journey.
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. I hope your studies are going well.
I cant wait until im done with my program. Ive been watching your videos and iust gives me inspiration to continue even when the classes become challenging for me. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Thsnks for sharing I find your story very inspiring and honest.
I just submitted my last assignment for my capstone. I'm doing my masters in math education k-6. Great video!
I’ve meant to come back and comment. Congrats on getting it all done!
Yay! Thank you!
I discovered your channel today and I’m watching in reverse lol. Congratulations! I start next month and I hope to finish in two terms .
This is a very helpful video. It makes sense that they don't do any preparatory work to ensure you're ready to graduate before the last class is completed, because Night Owls like us don't always get things done when we think we will :) Imagine if they had to start doing graduation prep work as soon as you finish your next-to-the-last class, and then you end up putting it off for MONTHS. I can see me doing that. After all, I'm watching this video instead of writing my CAPSTONE :)
Congrats Andy, super inspiring to see you finish your journey! I'm nearly there, just need to finish the last task of the capstone. Took a few months off (big mistake!) after the first term sprint and can't wait see that diploma show up in my mailbox!
Don't be hard on yourself. Life happens and burn out is real. What you achieved in those first 6 months was AMAZING. And you are still well ahead of the game. Take care my friend.
This was so inspirational!!! I watched part 1 to diploma. I am starting with WGU, and I only hope to have the success you had. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Glad it was helpful!
Congrats and very happy for you I am about to attend WGU in couple of months your journey is very inspiring and you motivated me to go back to school.
I really enjoyed all your videos. I started October 1, 2021 and I finished May 23, 2022. WGU has been great. I accelerated too and to do so you have to just commit to it completely. Now I feel like I have nothing to do. Ha. I start the MBA oct 1, 2022. Thanks for the videos.
Congrats!
Thank you!!
Congrats ...Great work
thank you so much.
Congratulations 🍾🎈
thank you. I hope your studies are going well.
Nice I had a balance after I graduated. Good to hear I dont have to pay that right away. Just waiting now its been 10 days🤔
Congratulations good job
Thank you!
I have 2 more tasks to go in my capstone
I didn't expect them to have the opportunity to walk across any stage, but id like to since id be one of the only in my family to attend college. Is transferring schools prior to completing the degree a good option? Or would it become very confusing? Would it even be worth it?
I submitted Task 3 for my Capstone class yesterday and am currently waiting for it to finish the evaluation step. Thank you so much for all these videos. They were a tremendous help to me during my 6 month journey at WGU. I am planning on starting my MBA in IT Management in January. Will you be enrolled in the MBA in Information Technology Management or a traditional MBA?
First congrats!! My question for you is "Was it mandatory to pass the certs as part of your degree program?"
Hi! Nice vid and congrats!!! I appreciate your experiences and input on being as a student in WGU. However what do you think about WGU for students that just graduate from high school? I've been hearing that people just don't recommend it at all because you NEED work expierence (based off the degree you apply to) to get through these courses. I'm planning on applying for a BA cyber security degree, however hearing that people just don't reccomend applying to this school without work expierence is kind of demotivating me to attend. I would really appreciate it if I got input on this, and it would help me be more comfortable on deciding on other options besides WGU. If I also do want to puruse WGU could I possibly get a job that is similar to the field I am interested in (cyber security) like a help desk job? Thanks!!
Thanks for this video! How long after the balance due email did the official graduation email come?
Which classes did you not have to do (which did WGU give you Credits for before enrollment)? I am doing the BS IT program and you seem to have gotten through it with fewer Classes than i have. Just curious.
How many classes did you have to do within the 7 months you completed your program. will like to know. Congrats
Hi did you get a bacholers in Buissness IT Management was it easy im trying to get a degree in something from scratch no credits can i get my degree on 6 months to a year
So I can’t come out and walk the stage if I wanted to???
I'm curious to know how many people get good paying jobs with a degree from. WgU
as far as getting your diploma, what about the cert that comes with?
Hey bro how long did it take you to complete your degree ?
i have 16 weeks left i have only 1 course left Can i do one more degree with the same tuition i paid
And… so? It’s been two years how much did your salary increase
Hi. Are you working right now? Did it help?
Awesome video ! So let’s say I do the bachelors of IT management and I compete it in 5 months do I have to pay the remaining balance if I do the monthly payments? For example it’s $3,550 I pay 5 months of it and the remaining is 550, do I have to pay for it? Thank you
Yes, I believe you do. Basically they break the 6 months tuition into monthly payments into one payment, so its just like buying a car. I only had 2 classes in term 2, but still had to pay the full amount.
How long it will take to complete bachelors in business? Can we finish it 6 months?
I am not sure how long it would take to do the business bachelors degree, but a lot of the classes in my degree plan are the same. So I think it could be done quickly if you have the time to focus on it. I think the average is 18-24 months. I did my degree is just over 7 months with just 3 classes transferred in.
Congrats!
Thank you Evan!
