Just Graduated from WGU!

in IT Jobs / Degrees
Just finished up my Capstone. I started in January and completed 31 CU's to graduate. Super excited to done! My overall experience was good. The only bad experience I had was with the student mentor. There were periods of time where he wouldn't be very responsive. Not sure what was going on with him. For example, when I moved my Capstone course into my current term, it took him a week to approve it. It would have taken longer, but I had a course mentor reach out and ask my student mentor to approve the term... Anyway, it was a good experience.

Here is my course line-up:
CompTIA 220-801 A+
CompTIA 220-802 A+
CompTIA Security+
CompTIA Project+
Java
MySQL
Technical Writing
Capstone

I don't have access to my degree plan, so that's why I didn't list the actual course codes above. The Java class was the most difficult because of the training. The language itself wasn't hard to learn, but I ended up not using the training provided by WGU. The uDacity training was just awful. I bought a book off of Amazon and finished the class in 3 weeks.

I'm happy to answer any questions!

    Correct. I did transfer in an Associate's degree and Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 MCSA certification. If I remember correctly, 75% of my degree was accommodated by transfer credits.
