00:00in today's video I'm going to tell you
00:01how you can get a BS in Business
00:04Administration Management in as little
00:06as six months and the best thing about
00:08this is not only are you going to save a
00:10bunch of time you can get a degree in as
00:11little as six months but it's also going
00:13to be cheaper easier and you're not
00:15going to have to quit your job or move
00:17across the country and this is all
00:18possible because of something called
00:20competency-based education and there are
00:22a few universities out there that are
00:24regionally accredited respected in this
00:27particular case the one I'm going to
00:28tell you about is a top 10 school where
00:30you can do this at most universities AKA
00:32traditional education they're going to
00:34make you go to school for at least four
00:36years to get your bachelor's degree and
00:38on average it's actually 5.1 years but
00:41if you attend a competency-based
00:43university like the one I'm going to
00:44talk about in this video WGU or Western
00:47Governors University you can get it much
00:49faster and this is something that
00:50previously I only revealed to my
00:52Consulting clients but I posted a few
00:55videos here on YouTube people really
00:57loved it and they wanted me to make a
00:58series on it so that's exactly what I'm
01:00doing and not only did I make a series
01:02on it but also myself my team and my
01:04friend Josh matacor worked really hard
01:06on a cheat sheet that makes this entire
01:09process insanely easy so if you
01:11appreciate me doing all this hard work
01:12for you go ahead gently tap that like
01:14button and let's jump into it alright so
01:17this is a simple four-step process and
01:20you need to follow each step and you
01:22really need to take your time and do it
01:24exactly as I say in this video some of
01:26these steps might seem extremely easy
01:28and you might kind of like pass over
01:30them not spend very much time on them
01:31but I highly recommend that you actually
01:33really take your time with these so the
01:35very first step is going to be transfer
01:38in all of your existing credits now in
01:41this particular case we are going to be
01:42using WGU Western Governors University
01:45but like I said before there are other
01:47competency-based universities that are
01:49pretty good as well and this entire
01:50process is going to work relatively the
01:52same with a few tiny little changes here
01:54and there with those other universities
01:56now when it comes to transferring in
01:58your credits you definitely want to get
01:59your transcript right so obviously
02:01they're going to accept things like AP
02:03and IB classes during high school
02:05they're also going to accept any college
02:07credit that you currently have and then
02:09of course they're also going to accept
02:10CLEP exams any type of special exams
02:13certifications Etc but the one that you
02:15might be a little surprised about is
02:16they also accept work experience in some
02:19cases as well as military experience so
02:21make sure you talk with your counselor
02:23send your transcript in and really see
02:25which classes you can knock out using
02:27your existing credits and experience so
02:29for example uh this person here 817
02:31Texan they said that they transferred in
02:3421 credit units which means that they
02:36had 100 credit units left they were able
02:38to dedicate about 10 to 15 hours a week
02:40to school and they completed their
02:42entire degree in three terms which is
02:44approximately a year and a half right so
02:46there is endless amounts of testimonials
02:49on YouTube Reddit Etc all over the
02:51Internet of people who have used similar
02:54strategies to this who are able to get
02:55their degrees really fast now in this
02:57particular case it looks like they were
02:58able to do it in about a year and a half
03:00and you can do it even faster than that
03:02if you use these strategies now once you
03:04have transferred in all of these credits
03:06uh you're not going to enroll in fact
03:08you're not going to enroll until step
03:09number four so the next step is you are
03:12going to test out of a bunch of the
03:14remaining classes using third-party
03:17companies now you might be asking hey
03:19WGU is Competency Based it's accelerated
03:22you know you can finish it super fast so
03:24why would you use these third-party
03:25companies well the answer to that is
03:27very simply they're faster easier and
03:29cheaper now I'm going to warn you as
03:31much as I love WGU they still do want to
03:34make money so they might be kind of
03:36pressuring you to enroll at this point
03:38and I highly recommend that you don't do
03:39that because you're going to be able to
03:41knock out especially the entry level
03:42classes extremely quickly using these
03:45third-party companies so the three that
03:47I recommend personally and the three
03:49that are just like very smooth it's like
03:51a frictionless experience especially the
03:53first one is going to be study.com
03:55sophia.org and straighterline.com now
03:58there are others out there but those the
04:00three that I've had the best experience
04:01with and my favorite is study.com
04:03followed by sophia.org now some people
04:05use really complex strategies like
04:08they'll take you know these three
04:09classes from a straighter line and five
04:11classes from Sophia and like 10 classes
04:14at study.com and if you want to you can
04:15look those up and maybe you'll save
04:17yourself like 30 minutes here and there
04:18but if you just want a pretty
04:19straightforward experience I do
04:21recommend study.com they seem to have
04:23the best user interface it's the easiest
04:25to understand and comprehend and it just
04:27seems to be the most frictionless one I
04:29got this now this particular degree
04:31Business Administration Management has
04:3340 total classes and you can very easily
04:35test out of these classes about one per
04:37week even if you're super busy even if
04:39you got a family even if you're working
04:40full time I'm a little busy right now if
04:43you're not super busy you can test out
04:45of them much quicker than that so for
04:47instance some of my students have
04:48reported to me they're able to test out
04:49of like one class per day sometimes even
04:51multiple classes per day and this is
04:53especially true for the entry level ones
04:55that are super easy now another great
04:56thing about doing this as well is just
04:58going to WGU in general is you don't
04:59really have to buy an expensive textbook
05:02or buy any extra like random quizzes
05:04sometimes they'll make you buy like a a
05:06clicker or something like that to take
05:07these random quizzes there's all these
05:09weird little you know things that
05:10universities make you buy that just
05:12waste your time and your money and WGU
05:14and and study.com don't have this issue
05:16and by the way I made this entire
05:18process ridiculously easy making a cheat
05:20sheet it Maps out the exact class you
05:23can take at study.com you can even click
05:24on it and go straight to the class with
05:27the class that it maps to at WGU so it
05:29just makes the whole process
05:30ridiculously easy and I'll put that down
05:32in the description as well as the pin
05:33comment below and here in a few minutes
05:35at the end of the video I'm actually
05:36going to go through step by step exactly
05:38how to use this cheat sheet so once you
05:41have taken all these classes using
05:43study.com sophia.org or straighterline
05:45you're going to go ahead and transfer
05:46them in and then you're going to move on
05:48to step number three which is you are
05:50gonna go ahead and pre-study the
05:53remaining classes right so you're not
05:54going to enroll in WGU yet you're going
05:56to take those remaining classes you're
05:57going to look at the curriculum and then
05:58you're going to pre-step and the reason
06:00you want to do this is because the whole
06:02goal of going to WGU is to graduate in
06:05terms of the time you're actually
06:06enrolled at WGU as fast as possible and
06:09the reason for this is because they
06:11charge you by the term so they charge
06:13you every six months about thirty five
06:15hundred dollars or so and so you really
06:17want to try to graduate from WGU in one
06:20to two terms max if possible and that's
06:22going to keep your costs as low as
06:24possible in many cases people end up not
06:26spending any money at all with the
06:28grants scholarships and student aid now
06:30the two best resources and this is going
06:33to be different for every single degree
06:34at WGU is going to first of all be the
06:37WGU subreddit and specifically each
06:40degree has their own subreddit now some
06:42of the subreddits are more active than
06:43others but this can be a great resource
06:46because people will share tips and
06:47tricks methods for studying for the
06:49courses as well as how to pass the test
06:52as quickly and efficiently as possible
06:54so a lot of the time they will tell you
06:56the exact sources they used to study to
06:58pass these tests another really good
07:00resource is going to be the WGU Facebook
07:03group so it's very similar to the
07:04subreddit except it's a Facebook group
07:06so I'd say it's a little easier to
07:08network because you're actually talking
07:10to other real people on Facebook and
07:12they do the same thing they share tips
07:14tricks and strategies on how to pass
07:16these classes and pass the tests as
07:18quickly and easily as possible there's
07:19also of course great resources all
07:21across the internet Google YouTube Khan
07:24Academy is great if you're a textbook
07:26type of person you can download either
07:27free or very cheap textbooks online or
07:30you can just order it from Amazon if you
07:32want a physical textbook if you order
07:33one that's a few years old it'll
07:34probably be like 20 to 30 dollars and
07:36then when you feel really confident
07:37about your studying you think you can
07:39pass those tests really quickly you want
07:40to move on to step number four which is
07:42enroll in WGU and test out of those
07:44classes as fast as possible so here is
07:47an example of someone who is able to
07:48complete 117 credit units in six months
07:52so it's absolutely possible to do this
07:54and this is the exact degree of Business
07:56Administration Management uh here's
07:57another person who is able to transfer
07:59in 23 credits and then test out of 97
08:02credits so it looks like they were also
08:04enrolled for only one term so many
08:06examples on the internet of people using
08:08these strategies in order to get through
08:10these classes as fast as possible now a
08:12normal college degree in the United
08:13States of America takes around 5.1 years
08:16on average so if you are able to test
08:19out of a degree in six months and you
08:21didn't have to quit your job you didn't
08:23have to move across the country you're
08:24able to do it quickly and easily you
08:27probably don't take out any debt you
08:29spend maybe a few thousand dollars or in
08:30some cases nothing versus having to
08:32upend your entire life and go to college
08:34for five years I think you can see why
08:36this is such an attractive option for
08:38people now we're going to go ahead and
08:40jump into the cheat sheet and I'm going
08:41to take you through a step-by-step
08:43example of something that would probably
08:45happen it would look very similar to
08:47what you would do if you enrolled in WGU
08:50and use the methods that I talked about
08:51in this video alright so here we are in
08:54the cheat sheet and as you can see on
08:57the far left here this column is the ID
09:00numbers for all the WGU classes in this
09:04column it shows the class names at WGU
09:07and then the amount of units in each
09:09class this column right here is probably
09:12the most important one and that is the
09:14study.com classes that you can take and
09:17then transfer into WGU so just for an
09:20example here the English 104 study.com
09:23class which is number 57 transfers in
09:26for English composition one so super
09:29easy also color coded it these green
09:33classes are the general education
09:35classes and these tend to be the easiest
09:37generally speaking um then as you go
09:39down the core classes are a little bit
09:40more difficult and then the program
09:42specific classes are a little bit more
09:45difficult generally speaking as well so
09:47that's not always true though sometimes
09:49they're not that hard and if you want to
09:51go ahead and do this exact process that
09:54I'm about to show you all you have to do
09:55is just go file and make a copy you need
09:58a Gmail account and you'll pretty much
10:00be good to go and you can just do this
10:03entire you know process with me step by
10:06step basically the same way that I'm
10:07about to show you so we're going to go
10:09ahead and do step one which is we're
10:11going to transfer in our existing
10:13credits so in this particular case
10:16um you know again I'm just making all
10:18this up let's say you took AP Calculus
10:21during high school so that transferred
10:23in for math 101 you also took AP biology
10:25during high school as well that
10:28transferred in and then you took AP
10:29economics and that transferred in then
10:32you took one semester at Community
10:34College where you took art and sociology
10:37and you transferred those classes in as
10:40well so that's not too bad uh a lot of
10:42the times people will transfer in even a
10:44lot more than that but you know you'll
10:47probably end up transferring in at least
10:48a few classes from your experience as
10:51well as classes you've already taken
10:52then you're going to go ahead and move
10:54on to step two which is the test out
10:56phase and if you are a little bit sad
10:58because you weren't able to of transfer
11:00classes in it's not really that big of a
11:02deal it'll maybe set you back like a
11:04week or two at most because the test out
11:07phase is so insanely effective and this
11:09is probably the most important phase out
11:12of all four steps so you're going to go
11:14ahead and test out of these classes
11:16using study.com straighterline or Sophia
11:19some people do like a combination of the
11:22three but again just to keep things
11:23simple I find that when you try to over
11:25complicate things people get really
11:27confused I just did study.com in the
11:30future I may update this and do the
11:32sophia.org stuff as well and possibly
11:35even straighterline and I'll also try to
11:37keep up to date if study.com adds
11:39classes because sometimes they do but
11:42just keep in mind that if you make a
11:43copy any changes I make will not be on
11:45the copy it will be on the original so
11:48just keep that in mind so you test it
11:50out of all of these classes and you know
11:52you were able to do it much quicker
11:54easier and cheaper than it would have
11:56been at WGU and so you're going to move
11:58on to the next phase which is you are
12:01going to pre-study the remaining classes
12:03and there's only one two three four five
12:06six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve
12:09thirteen classes remaining so you were
12:11able to test out of all except for 13
12:13classes and you're going to go ahead and
12:16pre-study these remaining classes and
12:18once you feel comfortable and confident
12:20you're going to go ahead and enroll in
12:21WGU and your goal is to try to test out
12:24of all the classes in one term right
12:27that's the goal two terms Max but if you
12:30pre-study the classes you really should
12:32be able to do one term especially for
12:34this particular degree it's not one of
12:36the more difficult degrees at WGU so you
12:39will move on to step four you're enroll
12:41in WGU and knock the rest of the classes
12:43out as fast as you possibly can and then
12:46you're going to go ahead and brag to
12:48your family and friends that you were
12:50able to graduate with a bachelor's
12:51degree in less than a year and if you're
12:54nice you will share this video with them
12:56so that they can do it as well now one
12:59thing I I did want to say is WGU is a
13:02phenomenal school but there's two things
13:04first of all there are other
13:06competency-based universities and some
13:08of them might have the degree that
13:09you're looking for whereas WGU doesn't
13:11have it or there might be other reasons
13:13why you go to those other universities
13:14and then the second thing is WGU is
13:17great and competency-based universities
13:19are great but they're not necessarily
13:21for everyone there's always going to be
13:23downsides there's nothing in life that
13:24only has upside and no downside so the
13:27downside to WGU for instance one of them
13:29is that it's completely remote right so
13:31some people cannot concentrate if
13:33they're doing everything completely
13:34remotely maybe you're trying to do your
13:36studies at your house and you know
13:37you've got like kids around you or it's
13:39just like really loud and you just
13:41cannot concentrate so that's definitely
13:42going to be a downside and there are
13:44other pros and cons to going to WGU
13:46which I talk about in this video right
13:48here so I highly recommend you check
13:50that video out go there right now
13:52because you're definitely going to want
13:54to know the pros and cons
