C278 College Algebra (MATH 1015, 4 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the algebra gate of six WGU math and science education tables: term 2 of the B.S. Mathematics Education (Secondary) and its Educational Studies counterpart, and term 4 of the secondary chemistry and physics science education degrees and their Educational Studies counterparts. Real numbers through logarithmic functions, with mathematical modeling of real-world situations. Coursework Ninja completes C278 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, C278 provides further application and analysis of algebraic concepts and functions through mathematical modeling of real-world situations: real numbers, algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and systems of linear equations. The course is 4 CUs, the heavyweight size for a gen-ed math row, and it is the catalog-stated prerequisite for D667 Precalculus, which the same six tables schedule exactly one term later.
Six catalog tables carry C278. The B.S. Mathematics Education (Secondary) and the B.A. Educational Studies in Secondary Mathematics Education place it in term 2, the earliest math gate on the path. The four secondary science education tables (chemistry and physics, licensure and Educational Studies) place it in term 4, where it lands between the biology and chemistry rows. Students who transfer in algebra credit clear it; everyone else meets a 4-CU exam course early, when a failed attempt costs the most schedule. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities consistently report a proctored objective assessment (OA) for the college algebra course, which is how WGU's own program materials describe the quantitative gates of the education paths. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment C278 carries.
The description's center of gravity: graphs and functions, polynomial and rational functions, and the exponential and logarithmic families. OA questions cluster on reading behavior off a graph and matching function families to real situations, not on memorized formulas alone.
Equations and inequalities plus systems of linear equations, the mechanical core. These are the rows students lose points on by rushing: sign errors and missed solution cases, not missing knowledge.
The description frames the whole course as mathematical modeling of real-world situations, and the scored work honors that framing. Questions hand you a scenario and expect the algebra built from scratch, which is what stalls students who learned procedures without the translation step.
C278 sits one term before D667 Precalculus in all six tables, and the precalculus description states a completed college-level algebra course as its prerequisite. Clearing C278 on schedule keeps the whole math ladder (precalculus, then trigonometry or calculus by path) from sliding a term.
C278 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the six education tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
C278 stalls the students who came to teach, not to factor polynomials: reading-first elementary hearts rarely land here, but every secondary math and science education path passes through it. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, College Algebra (MATH 1015, 4 CUs) provides further application and analysis of algebraic concepts and functions through mathematical modeling of real-world situations, covering real numbers, algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and systems of linear equations.
Per the current catalog, 6 tables: term 2 of the B.S. Mathematics Education (Secondary) and the B.A. Educational Studies in Secondary Mathematics Education, and term 4 of the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Chemistry), the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics), and both Educational Studies counterparts.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities consistently report a proctored objective assessment (OA) for the college algebra course, consistent with how the education degree paths describe their quantitative gates. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
No. C957 Applied Algebra is a different WGU course with its own page, built around applying algebra to practical scenarios for non-math paths. C278 College Algebra (MATH 1015) is the fuller 4-CU algebra survey that the six math and science education tables schedule and that the catalog names as the prerequisite for D667 Precalculus. The code on your program plan decides which one you owe.
C278 kept its legacy C-prefix code through the August 2026 renumbering that gave most courses new D or E codes, while its course number (CCN) is MATH 1015 in the current catalog. Students searching either the old code or the course name land on the same course. We always quote against the code on your program plan.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If C278 is one row on a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every academic course on the plan.
Yes. The M.A. Mathematics Education (Middle Grades) track carries College Algebra as C912 (MATH 5015, 3 CUs) in term 1, for licensed teachers adding a middle-grades math endorsement. Same course name as C278, different code, course number, and CU count, so the code on your program plan decides which version you owe.
No. We are an independent paid completion service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University. WGU provides its own instructors, mentors, and evaluators; Coursework Ninja is separate, for students who want this course finished on a fixed date.
