WGU course completion

D860 General Physics II with Lab (PHYS 3000, 4 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) opens the upper-division physics core of the secondary physics education family: term 7 of the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics), term 6 of the B.A. Educational Studies secondary physics track, and term 1 of the Physics endorsement program for already-licensed secondary science teachers. Per the published description it builds directly on General Physics I through heat and thermodynamics, geometric optics, and the interactions and transformations of energy within atomic and subatomic systems. Coursework Ninja completes D860 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, General Physics II with Lab builds on the foundational concepts covered in General Physics I, guiding students through introductory topics in heat and thermodynamics, geometric optics, and the interactions and transformations of energy within atomic and subatomic systems. The topic list is long and specific: the distinction between heat and temperature, methods of heat transfer, specific heat capacity, the laws of thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases, and the principles of heat engines and efficiency. The optics block names electromagnetic waves, Snell's law, total internal reflection, thin film interference, ray tracing for lenses and mirrors, dispersion, polarization, diffraction, and the functioning of optical instruments. The closing block runs atomic models and structures, atomic spectral absorption and emission, radioactivity and radioactive decay, nuclear processes like fusion and fission, and mass-energy relationships, with scientific literacy and the ability to apply scientific principles stated as the through-line.
Three tables carry it, always at 4 CUs, the joint-heaviest course of the physics row. On the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics) it sits in term 7 beside D861 Electricity and Magnetism, D769 Secondary Literacy Methods and Interventions, and D875 Secondary Science Teaching Methods. The B.A. Educational Studies secondary physics track, the non-licensure version, pulls it one term earlier, term 6 beside D874 Three Dimensional Science and Engineering, the D845 and D846 General Physics I pair, and D890 Calculus I. On the Physics endorsement program, restricted by the catalog to licensed secondary science teachers, it opens the program in term 1 beside D845 and D890. The legacy M.A. Science Education (Secondary Physics) table runs its own physics sequence at different codes, opening with C659 Conceptual Physics (PHYS 5101, 3 CUs), so quote by the code on your audit. 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, and this description runs three content blocks with a lab named in the course title without stating the scored format. We confirm the exact component list for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D860 carries, the proctoring stack included when required.
Heat versus temperature, methods of heat transfer, specific heat capacity, the laws of thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases, and heat engines and efficiency: the description's opening block. These are calculation-shaped topics, and the algebra underneath them is why the degree schedules calculus one term earlier.
Electromagnetic waves, Snell's law, total internal reflection, thin film interference, ray tracing for lenses and mirrors, dispersion, polarization, diffraction, and the functioning of optical instruments. Ray tracing is a drawing skill, not a definition: scored questions hand you a lens or a mirror and ask for the image.
Atomic models and structures, atomic spectral absorption and emission, radioactivity and radioactive decay, fusion and fission, and mass-energy relationships: the description's modern-physics close, and the block with the most vocabulary packed into each question.
The course name carries the lab, the same shape as the chemistry family's D866 and D868: no separate 1-CU lab course follows this one on any of the three tables. We sequence lecture and laboratory work together so neither one idles.
D860 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining physics education or educational studies list it folds into the flat $3,000 bachelor's package, and endorsement-only plans are quoted in writing at intake on the same written terms, every remaining academic CU under the 6-month finish guarantee. Live clinical and student-teaching requirements always stay with you.

Bottlenecks
D860 is the joint-heaviest course of the physics row, three content blocks plus the lab inside one code. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, General Physics II with Lab (PHYS 3000, 4 CUs) builds on the foundational concepts of General Physics I across three named blocks: heat and thermodynamics (heat versus temperature, heat transfer, specific heat capacity, the laws of thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases, heat engines and efficiency), geometric optics (electromagnetic waves, Snell's law, total internal reflection, thin film interference, ray tracing for lenses and mirrors, dispersion, polarization, diffraction, optical instruments), and energy interactions in atomic and subatomic systems (atomic models, spectral absorption and emission, radioactivity and decay, fusion and fission, mass-energy relationships). The description states the course develops scientific literacy and the ability to apply scientific principles.
Per the current catalog, three tables: term 7 of the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics), term 6 of the B.A. Educational Studies secondary physics track, and term 1 of the Physics endorsement preparation program, which the catalog restricts to teachers holding a current secondary science license. If your degree plan shows PHYS 3000, this is the course.
No. The legacy M.A. Science Education (Secondary Physics) table for already-licensed teachers opens with C659 Conceptual Physics (PHYS 5101, 3 CUs) in its term 1 and runs its own mechanics, waves, and electricity codes behind it (BYT2, BZT2, and DPT2), all different codes with their own descriptions. D860 is PHYS 3000 on the bachelor's and endorsement tables. Quote by the exact code on your degree audit.
Yes, per the course name itself: General Physics II with Lab. Where the first physics course carries a separate 1-CU lab (D846) on the bachelor's tables, this course keeps the laboratory work inside its own code, the same shape as the chemistry family's lab courses. We confirm the exact component list for your catalog year at intake.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog, and the description names the three content blocks and the lab without stating the scored format. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included. Endorsement-only plans are quoted in writing on the same terms.
No. Coursework Ninja is 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.
