What classes to take prior to applying to WGU.

I thought I made this post before but it didn't go through. I am applying to WGU soon and wanted to know which classes can I take online before I apply to WGU? I plan on entering in the IT networking program. I want to get through WGU as fast as possible. I currently finished stats/algebra and am taking physics. Are there any classes I can take online? Specifically computer related ones. I have taken most general ed at a community college.

If you pass the required certifications for your chosen program (before you apply) you can transfer them in as completed.

You know the whole point of WGU is taking online classes as fast as you can, right? Why look for extra classes to take before you start? That means time and $$$.

Unless your workplace pays for all certs but not school. Then you let them pay for all the certs needed @ WGU and you complete the rest of your BS extremely cheaply.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of straighterline before. I would check with WGU admissions to see specifically which classes would transfer for the degree program you're looking at. I see that WGU is one of their partner colleges, so it might pan out well for you.

StraighterLine has really bad reviews.
