D795 Applied Algorithms and Reasoning (ICSC 5204, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the algorithms course of the graduate computing path: term 1 of all three M.S. Computer Science tracks (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Computing Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction) and term 6 of the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS track. Per the catalog description it builds on foundational algorithm design: benchmarking algorithms, reasoning with Big O notation for performance evaluation, designing, analyzing, and implementing algorithms for complex computational problems, and optimizing performance with benchmarking and profiling tools. Coursework Ninja completes D795 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: how do C949 and C950, the bachelor's data structures pair, lead into D795?
Per WGU's published description, Applied Algorithms and Reasoning builds on foundational knowledge of algorithm design and optimization for efficient resource utilization. The course emphasizes benchmarking algorithms, reasoning, and applying Big O notation for performance evaluation. Learners design, analyze, and implement algorithms to solve complex computational problems, focusing on optimizing performance and enhancing system efficiency. The practical applications involve testing data structures, developing algorithmic solutions, and optimizing algorithm performance through critical analysis and implementation, integrating computational thinking and engineering principles, with benchmarking and profiling tools used to measure and enhance performance for real-world software.
Four catalog tables carry D795: term 1 of all three M.S. Computer Science tracks (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Computing Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction) and term 6 of the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS track. The placement tells you the level: the regular B.S. Computer Science table does not carry it, and the accelerated track schedules it after the bachelor's data structures and discrete math rungs, because the description assumes that foundation is already there. Message us the code in your portal 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.

The reasoning core: applying Big O notation for performance evaluation. The course wants analysis derived from the code and the data, not a memorized complexity chart, and the gap between those two is where points go missing.
A named emphasis: benchmarking algorithms as evidence, not as a stopwatch exercise. Designing the comparison fairly is the skill, and it is the one most self-taught developers have never formalized.
The catalog names the instruments: benchmarking and profiling tools to measure and enhance performance for real-world software. Knowing what to measure, and what the profiler's output is actually saying, is the practical layer of the course.
The full loop the description promises: designing, analyzing, and implementing algorithms to solve complex computational problems, then optimizing performance through critical analysis. Each stage feeds the next, and the assessment grades the loop, not just the final code.
The practical applications block includes testing data structures: verifying behavior under real workloads rather than trusting the textbook complexity. It is the bridge from the bachelor's data structures pair to the graduate material.
D795 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining M.S. Computer Science list it folds into the flat $3,500 master's package; on the accelerated bachelor's track it rides the $3,000 bachelor's package. Either way the written 6-month finish guarantee covers it.

Bottlenecks
D795 stalls students who can write working code but have never had to prove why it is fast enough. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Applied Algorithms and Reasoning (ICSC 5204, 3 CUs) builds on foundational algorithm design and optimization: benchmarking algorithms, reasoning and applying Big O notation for performance evaluation, designing, analyzing, and implementing algorithms for complex computational problems, and optimizing performance through critical analysis, with benchmarking and profiling tools used to measure and enhance real-world software performance.
Per the current catalog, four tables: term 1 of all three M.S. Computer Science tracks (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Computing Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction) and term 6 of the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS track. The regular B.S. Computer Science table does not carry it. If your degree plan shows ICSC 5204, this is the course.

C949 and C950 are the bachelor's data structures pair: a conceptual proctored exam and a Python project PA. D795 is the graduate-level algorithms course on the M.S. tracks and the accelerated track, building on that foundation with benchmarking, Big O reasoning, and profiling. If C949 and C950 are done, you have the base D795 assumes.
Per the September 2026 catalog, three courses open every M.S. Computer Science track in term 1: D793 Formal Languages Overview (ICSC 5201, 3 CUs), D794 Computer Architecture and Systems (ICSC 5203, 3 CUs), and D795 (ICSC 5204, 3 CUs). D793 and D794 now have their own completion pages, linked below, and the opening trio is exactly the kind of stack we schedule as one block on the written plan.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining M.S. list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
