WGU bachelor's completion
At a glance
Last updated
Coursework Ninja completes the academic side of the WGU B.A. Elementary Education program: reading, math, science, and social studies methods PAs delivered to the rubric, literacy and curriculum assessments finished, all paced around observation and student-teaching windows, with remaining academic CUs cleared in 6 months or you do not pay. The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat. Coursework Ninja is independent and not affiliated with Western Governors University. Student teaching stays with you.
The B.A. Elementary Education is WGU's route to an elementary classroom license: 37 courses built on the Science of Reading and the Science of Learning, from early literacy methods through elementary math, science, and social studies methods, ending in observation hours and a term of full-time student teaching. Most students in it are paraprofessionals, substitutes, and career-changers already working in schools, which means the paper load lands on top of a school job.
We complete the academic load: literacy curriculum and methods PAs, math and science methods tasks, the professional core, and the general education leftovers, all sequenced around your clinical and student-teaching windows. The classroom work stays with you; the assessments become ours. Remaining academic CUs finished in 6 months under the agreed plan, or you do not pay.
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
Early Literacy Methods, Elementary Literacy Curriculum, Elementary Literacy Methods, and Literacy Assessment and Interventions: the Science of Reading core of the degree. We produce the PAs to the rubric and drive revisions until each passes.
Elementary Mathematics Methods and Interventions, Elementary Science and Engineering Methods, and the social studies curriculum and methods courses, completed as graded tasks on the weekly clear list.
The Professional Educator, Learners and Learning Science, Creating Positive Learning Environments, and the rest of the core, including the microcredential work in Innovative Technology for Inclusive P-12 Classrooms.
Observation hours and the full-time student-teaching term are live requirements and stay with you. We sequence every academic assessment around those windows so school deadlines never collide with course deadlines.

Course map
Course names, codes, and order below match the official standard path in WGU's September 2026 Institutional Catalog for the B.A. Elementary Education (37 courses, 120 CUs). Assessment labels reflect typical OA/PA patterns for the course type; exact task mix can shift by catalog year.
| Course | Assessment | Where students stall |
|---|---|---|
| The Professional EducatorD663 | Paper (PA) | First course on the path and not transferable; it builds the program plan everything else hangs on |
| Composition: Writing with a StrategyD269 | Paper (PA) | First writing PA; stalls come from rubric format, not from ideas |
| Introduction to Communication: Connecting with OthersD268 | Paper (PA) | Short professional-communication tasks; a quick early clear on the weekly list |
| Composition: Successful Self-ExpressionD270 | Paper (PA) | Research writing with a reference list; citations are where revisions loop |
| Integrated Physical SciencesC165 | Exam (OA) | Physics, chemistry, and earth science in one exam; the gen ed future teachers fear most |
| Quantitative LiteracyD771 | Exam (OA) | Algebra and geometry applied to real scenarios; postponed by students who came to teach reading |
| Introduction to BiologyC190 | Exam (OA) | Broad biology exam; usually clears fast once it is actually scheduled |
| Elementary Literacy CurriculumD668 | Paper (PA) | Opens the literacy block; science-of-reading rubric language trips first submissions |
| Early Literacy MethodsD669 | Paper (PA) | PK-3 phonics and phonemic awareness methods; dense rubric, very passable once decoded |
| Elementary Literacy MethodsD670 | Paper (PA) | Grades 4 to 6 vocabulary and comprehension methods; shares term 5 with D668 and D669 |
| Foundations of Literacy Through LiteratureD688 | Paper (PA) | The literature course beside D689 in term 6; genre range and inclusive text selection are scored |
| Literacy Assessment and InterventionsD689 | Paper (PA) | MTSS assessment analysis; the data-interpretation tasks stall strong writers |
| Elementary Mathematics CurriculumD691 | Paper (PA) | Opens the math block at term 6; curriculum mapping with standards alignment |
| Early Mathematics Methods and InterventionsD692 | Paper (PA) | PK through early grades math methods; the classic pause point for reading-first students |
| Elementary Mathematics Methods and InterventionsD693 | Paper (PA) | The grades 3 to 6 closer beside the science rows, two terms before student teaching |
| Early Clinical in Elementary EducationD706 | Field / clinical (you) | Live classroom observation stays with you; we clear the written work around it |
| Student Teaching I in Elementary EducationD717 | Field / clinical (you) | Full-time supervised teaching with required live sessions; academic CUs close before it starts |

Certifications and transfers
Early and advanced clinicals, demonstration teaching, and Student Teaching I and II stay with you, including the required live sessions. We complete the academic assessments and papers around those pieces, confirmed in writing at intake. WGU also requires your state content exam and basic skills exam for licensure; those stay with you too. Transfer credit varies by transcript. Our completion fee is separate from WGU tuition.
Career outcomes
The destination is the classroom, so the honest numbers are teacher pay: district salary schedules, plus a pay lane jump for graduate credits later. BLS projects flat national hiring, while many districts still report elementary shortages.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten and elementary school teachers | $62,310 | 2% decline |
| Instructional coordinators | $74,720 | 1% growth |
Figures are U.S. national medians from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2024 median annual pay and projected employment change from 2024 to 2034. Pay varies by state, employer, and experience. What happens after a WGU degree: employers, salary surveys, and the already-employed vs career-changer split.

The plan
Months 1-2
The professional core and the feared gen eds first: The Professional Educator (D663), Learners and Learning Science (D664), and the composition pair (D269, D270) cleared, with Integrated Physical Sciences (C165) and Quantitative Literacy (D771) scheduled early instead of saved for the final term.
Months 3-4
The literacy block runs: Elementary Literacy Curriculum (D668), Early Literacy Methods (D669), Elementary Literacy Methods (D670), Foundations of Literacy Through Literature (D688), and Literacy Assessment and Interventions (D689), sequenced around Early Clinical (D706) observation windows and your school's grading crunches.
Months 5-6
Math, science, and social studies methods close out: Early and Elementary Mathematics Methods (D692, D693), Elementary Science and Engineering Methods (D672), Elementary Social Studies Methods (D674), and Elementary Disciplinary Literacy (D690), with every academic CU finished before Advanced Clinical (D708) and Student Teaching (D717, D718) intensity peaks. Revision buffer protected, finish date held in writing.
Guides
No, and we are blunt about it at intake. Early Clinical (D706), Advanced Clinical (D708), and Student Teaching I and II (D717, D718) are supervised in-classroom requirements with mandatory live sessions, and they stay with you. We complete every academic assessment around them: the OAs, PAs, lesson-design tasks, and graded papers.
WGU requires a state-mandated content exam and a basic skills exam for initial licensure, and most states add their own requirements like background clearance or state-specific coursework. Those steps are yours, and your state's rules control them; we do not give legal advice. What we control is the academic side: the 30-plus courses of OAs and PAs cleared on schedule.
Students tell us the same three names: C165 Integrated Physical Sciences, a physics-chemistry-earth science exam most future teachers have not touched since high school; D771 Quantitative Literacy, the math gen ed saved for last; and the math methods pair D692 and D693, which stalls people who enrolled to teach reading. All three are on the verified standard path, and all three go early in our plan so they cannot ambush the final term.
That is the normal case, not the exception. Most elementary education students we work with are paras, subs, or aides, so weekly targets lighten during grading periods and observation windows and get heavier over breaks. The finish date is written against your real school calendar at intake.
Per the September 2026 catalog, four courses. The B.A. Elementary Education runs D668 Elementary Literacy Curriculum (EDUC 2250, 3 CUs), D669 Early Literacy Methods (EDUC 2251, 3 CUs), and D670 Elementary Literacy Methods (EDUC 2252, 3 CUs) together in term 5, then D689 Literacy Assessment and Interventions (EDUC 2258, 3 CUs) in term 6 beside the D688 literature course. The four special education versions run the same rows in terms 6 and 7. The block is the science-of-reading core of the degree, and the M.A. Teaching tracks carry graduate twins of each name (D677, D676, D675, D696, and D697, 2 CUs each), so quote by the code on your program plan. All five bachelor's courses have their own completion pages under /courses, and the five graduate twins have their own pages too. The whole block folds into the $3,000 bachelor's package.
The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat, which covers the agreed remaining academic CUs with the written 6-month finish guarantee. If only one course blocks you, single-course completion starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.
WGU's own estimate is that an associate degree waives a large block of the program, mostly general education courses like the composition pair, communication, and some math and science. Send us your remaining course list at intake and we will tell you plainly whether 6 months is realistic for it before you pay anything.
The B.A. Elementary Education leads to initial teacher licensure, and WGU designs it for eligibility across the 50 states, with exact grade levels set by your state. Washington residents take two additional state-specific courses. Your state exams and student teaching remain yours; the academic CUs are what we finish.
The written guarantee covers the agreed remaining academic CUs: every OA and PA on your plan, finished in 6 months or you do not pay. It does not compress your student-teaching term, because that is a live classroom placement on the school's calendar. We sequence the plan so all academic work closes before your clinical intensity peaks.
Coursework Ninja is an independent done-for-you degree completion service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University.
