00:00this video is going to be all about how
00:02you can get a bachelor's degree in
00:04marketing in as little as six months and
00:07in this particular example I'm going to
00:08show you how to do this at a university
00:10called WGU or Western Governors
00:13University now there are several
00:15different universities you can do this
00:16at but just to simplify things I'm going
00:18to use this University as an example but
00:21you can follow the same model at several
00:23other universities which I'll talk about
00:25at the end of the video and the tactics
00:27I'm going to reveal in this video are
00:28insanely valuable previously I only
00:30revealed it to my Consulting clients but
00:33I did make one video kind of talking
00:35about the whole process and I got a ton
00:37of comments saying that I should make
00:39videos on the other degrees at WGU so
00:42that's what we're going to be doing
00:43today and not only am I going to break
00:44it down make it insanely easy for you
00:46but I also created a cheat sheet where
00:49I'm going to take you through step by
00:51step and show you exactly how you can do
00:53the same thing so this is just making
00:55the whole process stupidly easy this
00:57will probably save you 10 to 20 hours
00:59worth of research research as well as up
01:01to three years of school you know fifty
01:08I hope you appreciate me giving you all
01:10this value completely free go ahead
01:12gently tap that like button and let's
01:14jump into it alright so this is a four
01:17step process and you want to follow each
01:20of these steps one by one right so you
01:23don't want to jump to step number three
01:24or anything like that make sure even if
01:26you think you know what you're doing
01:28that you follow all these steps do not
01:30skip ahead in the video
01:31not skip me I will not be skipped in the
01:34first step you are going to go ahead and
01:36transfer in all of your existing credits
01:39to a school like WGU now you want to
01:42choose a school like WGU because it is a
01:44competency-based university and what
01:46that basically means is they allow you
01:48to graduate based off of your competency
01:50not based off of how much time you've
01:53spent in the school and WGU is also very
01:55nice about the credits they accept so
01:58for instance in some cases they may
02:00accept military experience work
02:02experience certificates and
02:04certifications AP and IB classes that
02:07you might have taken during high school
02:08as well as other college classes and of
02:11course they also accept the typical
02:12stuff like CLEP exams Etc so you're
02:15going to want to make a list of all
02:16those different things you're going to
02:18want to get your transcript together and
02:19make sure you send that into WGU at that
02:22point you are going to get a list of
02:24classes back that you still have to take
02:26and they're going to move on to step
02:28number two which is probably the most
02:29important step and that is you are going
02:31to to go ahead and pre-game the classes
02:34that you can take with third-party
02:36companies right so I like to call this
02:38the test out phase and the reasons
02:40you're going to be using third-party
02:42companies instead of just enrolling in
02:43WGU right away is very simple it's
02:45easier cheaper and faster and the third
02:48party companies that I personally
02:49recommend are going to be study.com
02:52sophia.org and straighterline.com and I
02:55like them in that order study.com is my
02:57favorite sophia.org is my second
02:59favorite and straighterline is third so
03:02a Bachelor of Science or BS in marketing
03:04at WGU is about 41 classes total and you
03:08can very comfortably even if you have a
03:10family a full-time job and you're super
03:11busy test out of one class per week
03:14especially at the beginning when you're
03:15taking those entry-level classes now if
03:18you're not so busy it's much easier to
03:20test out of them and I've seen people do
03:21one per day sometimes even multiple in a
03:24single day and this is how you are going
03:26to be able to knock these classes out
03:28super quickly so for instance here is
03:30somebody who talked about this on Reddit
03:32they said 20 years in Communications and
03:34marketing did the degree in four to five
03:36months right so there are some
03:38ridiculous numbers that you're going to
03:40hear online for these WGU classes so
03:43this person was able to knock the degree
03:44out in four to five months this next
03:46person talks about how they're really
03:48busy so you know they have kids and
03:49stuff so they're not able to accelerate
03:51like some folks but they will likely be
03:53able to get done with the entire thing
03:54in about three terms now a term is six
03:57months so three terms is about a year
03:59and a half so even if you're really busy
04:01in many cases you can get these degrees
04:02done in two years or less and the
04:05greatest thing is you don't have to quit
04:06your job you don't have to move across
04:08the country or anything like that you
04:09can do this all in your free time and
04:12they both say that they highly recommend
04:13WGU so if you want to make this process
04:16as stupidly easy as possible definitely
04:19check out my cheat sheet down in the
04:21description as well as the pinned
04:22comment below this is going to be a
04:24cheat sheet for the marketing degree
04:25it's going to make this entire process
04:27just stupidly easy because once you test
04:29out of these classes they are going to
04:30send you the remaining classes left and
04:32the cheat sheet is essentially just
04:33going to tell you what those classes are
04:35so you don't really even have to wait
04:36now after you've tested out those
04:38classes and transferred them into WGU
04:40you're going to go ahead and move on to
04:42the third step which is you're going to
04:43go ahead and pre-study the remaining
04:46classes right so a lot of people skip
04:48this step but I highly recommend not
04:50doing that and the reason for that is
04:51because you want to finish WGU in the
04:54least amount of time possible and with
04:56this degree it's very realistic to
04:57finish it in one term that's six months
05:00and one term at WGU costs about thirty
05:03five hundred dollars so you can finish
05:04an entire bachelor's degree in terms of
05:06the time you're enrolled for thirty five
05:08hundred dollars that's not bad and in
05:10many cases people end up getting grants
05:12and funding so a lot of the time they
05:14don't pay anything and in many cases
05:16people actually don't graduate with any
05:18debt at all so my best recommendations
05:21for pre-studying these classes is really
05:23two different things so the first one is
05:25going to be the WGU subreddit and
05:27specifically you want to find the
05:28marketing WGU subreddit they're going to
05:31go over different strategies and tactics
05:32Etc to study for these degrees and pass
05:34the tests as quickly as possible the
05:37second thing I recommend is going to be
05:38Facebook groups for WGU as well it's
05:41similar to the subreddit but there's
05:42going to be other people there who also
05:44go over strategies and tactics and it's
05:46also a pretty good place to network now
05:48there's lots of other different places
05:49online where you can get free
05:51information on these classes of course
05:53you want to check out their curriculum
05:55to see what they actually go over
05:56YouTube is great Google's great Khan
05:59Academy's free as well
06:01udemy can be a really good place for
06:02certain classes and of course if you're
06:04a textbook type of person you can just
06:05get a textbook online or even order a
06:07physical textbook you know do one that's
06:09a few years old and you can probably get
06:10it for like 20 or 30 dollars now after
06:13you've pre-studded these classes and you
06:14feel really comfortable go ahead and
06:15move on to step number four which is you
06:18are finally going to enroll in WGU and
06:21knock these classes out as fast as you
06:24thank you that took what how many how
06:27long did that take and since you
06:29pre-studied them you will very likely be
06:31able to knock out all of the remaining
06:32classes in one term and if not one term
06:35probably two terms Max so realistically
06:37even if you're super busy you have a
06:39family Etc you can knock this one out in
06:41less than two years and in some cases
06:43people take it super seriously and
06:45they're able to knock it out in much
06:47less than that now for some of the
06:48harder classes like marketing strategy
06:50and analytics and marketing management
06:52make sure you contact your professor
06:54because that can be a great resource so
06:56here's a person for instance who said
06:58they were able to graduate in two
06:59semesters and yeah there's tons of
07:01testimonials of people who have done
07:02this on YouTube Reddit Etc so it's
07:05completely legit it's a top 10
07:06University it's regionally accredited
07:08and it is respected in many different
07:10Industries now we're going to go ahead
07:12and jump into the cheat sheet and I'm
07:14going to take you through step by step
07:15exactly how you would do this process
07:17alright so here is the cheat sheet for
07:20the marketing degree you can see on the
07:23far left here these are the class IDs in
07:27this column right here you know business
07:29administration marketing these are the
07:32names of the classes at WGU in this
07:36column right here these are the units
07:37for each of the classes in this column
07:40right here you have the study.com
07:41classes that actually transfer in so I
07:45made it as simple as possible so
07:47basically like English 104 at study.com
07:49Here's the the number for the study.com
07:52class which is zero zero five seven this
07:55transfers in for English composition one
07:58at WGU so like I said I tried to make
08:01this in just extremely simple I will
08:03also be updating this in the future so
08:06if there are you know better classes at
08:08sophia.org or straighterline or or
08:10there's more classes I will keep that
08:12updated and I also have a column for
08:14certificates as well now typically
08:16speaking the difficulty also gets higher
08:19the lower you go so green tends to be
08:21relatively easy yellow is a little bit
08:23harder and then red tends to be a little
08:25harder as well but that's just generally
08:27speaking also if you want to go to the
08:31WGU website you can click right there
08:33and if you want to really easily be able
08:36to find the study.com class you can just
08:38click there it'll take you right to the
08:40exact class and if you want to do this
08:43entire process I'm about to show you
08:44yourself you can just go file make a
08:47copy and then you can edit it and do all
08:50of this process for your specific
08:52situation so let's go ahead and move on
08:54to step number one which is you're going
08:56to go ahead and transfer in your
08:58existing classes so in this particular
09:01example I kept it really simple but
09:03let's just say you took AP math during
09:05high school and then you also took a
09:08Communications and an art class when you
09:11were in Community College so you were
09:12able to transfer in those three classes
09:15so you didn't have that many classes to
09:16transfer in but that's fine you're going
09:18to go ahead and move on to step number
09:20two after that which is you're going to
09:22test out of all the classes that you can
09:24can using third-party companies so as
09:26you can see here you can test out of a
09:29lot of classes it's actually over half
09:30of them and this is just going to save
09:32you a ton of time and money so you're
09:34going to go ahead and test out of those
09:36classes and by the way when you go to
09:39study.com I do have a coupon code that
09:41they were nice enough to give me which
09:43is Shane hummus you use that at checkout
09:44and you will save 30 on your first three
09:47months and you'll also be helping the
09:49channel out so definitely take advantage
09:50of that but after you transfer in all of
09:53those classes you're going to see that
09:54these are the ones that are remaining so
09:56I'll just do a real quick count here one
09:58two three four five six seven eight nine
10:01ten so you only have 10 classes
10:04remaining that you actually have to take
10:06at WGU itself so at this point you would
10:09move on to step number three which is to
10:11pre-study the remaining classes so you'd
10:13go ahead and pre-study these and when
10:16you felt like you were ready you would
10:17move on to step number four which is
10:19you'd go ahead and enroll and you'd
10:21knock out those remaining classes as
10:23fast as possible now realistically
10:25um this is one of those degrees you can
10:27I'm not going to say easily but you can
10:29definitely knock it out in one term so
10:32at that point after you knock those
10:34classes out you get your degree you're
10:35going to move on to step number five
10:37which is you're going to go and brag to
10:39your friends and your family that you
10:40graduated with a bachelor's degree in
10:43six months and if you're nice you'll
10:45move on to step number six which is you
10:47will tell them how you were able to do
10:49it you'll Reveal Your tricks and you
10:51will send them this video so they can do
10:53it as well so congratulations you
10:55followed those steps and now you have a
10:57bachelor's degree way faster than just
10:59about anybody else you saved yourself a
11:01ton of time effort money and most
11:04importantly this is the thing that
11:05nobody talks about opportunity cost
11:07right because at the time when everybody
11:09else is going to school on average 5.1
11:12years to get a bachelor's degree you're
11:14getting one in like something between
11:15six months and two years and so that's
11:18going to be an extra three to four years
11:19that you're actually making money well
11:21everybody else is accumulating debt now
11:24one thing I do want to say is WGU is a
11:27phenomenal option for a lot of people
11:29out there but there are some downsides
11:31to going to WGU one of them very
11:33obviously is it's all remote so if you
11:35hate going to remote school this may not
11:37be the best option for you but there are
11:39other pros and cons and I talk about
11:40them in this video right here which I
11:43highly recommend you check out
