I started June 1st and have already completed 6 courses for my Masters. I’m trying to get done with my coursework up to the capstone before going back to work as a professor in Aug! This channel has given me so much motivation and help. Thanks, Justin!
Wow look at you go! That's remarkable. WGU is so rewarding, isn't it? I wish more universities allowed students to go at their own pace and prove that they can accelerate if competent and efficient enough. Glad you find the video motivating that's the aim :)
@@Jayisevolving My whole channel is about my WGU experience :) You'll notice my first videos on the channel are about me starting out, which might be the most relevant ones.
Oh I was just going to ask if you worked while studying but yes, you did work and I was supposed to remember 🤣 since I have already watched it. Thank you for all you are sharing Justin!
Hey! Do you mean an overview of the masters programs I took? If so, unfortunately, the two programs I finished through WGU were sunsetted and don’t exist anymore :( but they have new programs that are more current and up to date in the field of education.
I start in a few months and I’ve watched almost every video pertaining to WGU. But I still can’t fathom how y’all are finishing 2 and 3 courses in a month ? How is this possible !?
@@lifebyjustinYes. Moving them toward the end or beginning will help. Hey Justin, do you know why WGU does not accept Canadians? The website says they may accept some Canadians but when I called the office they just told me to do the application and there I can't put my Canadian Zip code.
@@thinkgrowhealthy2137 I never got a clear answer on the reason why they don't accept Canadians. But my Mentor seemed to not know about the non-international rule because she said she had Canadian students and thought they were allowed. So they must accept some. I think I put 00000 for my zipcode when I applied and then changed it once I got into the system with the Enrollment Counselor
@@lifebyjustin 🤣 you're Canadian? Yes, the website is not completely against foreigners but they do not want to encourage them. They may be concerned by their degrees not being recognized outside. However, I think I read they would not know if everyone's previous education will measure up to their higher standards or something like that.
@@thinkgrowhealthy2137 Ya who knows. Regarding degree recognition, I got both of my WGU masters assessed by a provincial qualification assessment service (a paid governmental service). The reports indicate that the degrees are recognized as comparable to similar degrees delivered in Canada.

@@lifebyjustin I agree! This format is amazing for working professionals
I plan to enroll in January. Would you please make a video about your experience

How long did it take you to get these 6 courses done?
Thank you for making this series! I’m hanging on to every word.
You're welcome, you've got this!

I did not want the video to end! Thank you
I needed this video.
Loved it! More please!
Do you think you could do a video with the outline of this course !

I have a few videos on how I've done it, you can watch my recent one all about that topic :)
Can you finish a buissness degree from scrach in western governors in one term if i work part time and dedicate the rest to it
Not sure! Depends on so many factors. I’ve only done the masters program (30 credits) in one term. 30 credits was doable
@@lifebyjustin How many classes was that? Thanks
@@Spurhope 13 I think? It's been a few years. One of the courses was a capstone and weighted at two courses from what I remember
@@lifebyjustinThank you. :)
Good channel but too many ads cutting off the video.
Thanks for the feedback. I can go into the back end and adjust that
@@lifebyjustinYes. Moving them toward the end or beginning will help.
