Wester Governors U -Statistics and Microbiology

Has anyone take these courses, how challeging were they to do online and how long did it take you? I start my BSN in April. Any advice would be helpful. Is there a lot of writing of papers for WGU. Also if I get the BSN is the course work easily transferrable to someone elses MSN program? Is there any advantage to getting my BSN now vs going RN-MSN?

Artemor,

I am currently enrolled in WGU's RN-MSN program and I can tell you that your cost per credit will vary depending upon how many courses you take. For undergrad terms you are required to enroll in 12 credits. However, you pay one flat fee and you can take more than 12 credits, that's just what is expected to be completed in 6 months.As you complete your last course you can pull up additional courses until your term is over. My last term I completed 18 credits and many students complete more than that. I could have done more but wanted a good balance between school, work, and family. All materials to complete courses are also included in digital format. With certain courses I have purchased used textbooks dirt cheap on amazon since I just really like the option of a hardcopy. But I would say WGU packs a lot of value for your money if you are motivated.

I took my stats course with WGU so no issue there but I agree with you, a generic intro to stats course should transfer in.

Good luck with your decision, I love the program and the flexibility and ability to get as much completed as I am able. Kathy
