    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 :)

    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.

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 :)

    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.

    • @trevorscott3275
      @trevorscott3275 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      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.

      @ShaneHummus  2 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @Astrosive
