WGU B.S. Computer Science completion, finished in 6 months

Thirty-nine courses totaling 121 competency units on the September 2026 table (BSCS 202611), including gen eds, the math chain, data structures, the Java and back-end stack, the AI sequence, the agile and design courses, and the team project. WGU expects at least 12 competency units cleared each six-month term, and the published terms carry 12 to 14.

C959 and C960 are Discrete Mathematics I and II (proctored OAs). C949 is Data Structures and Algorithms I (conceptual proctored OA, no coding). C950 is Data Structures and Algorithms II (Python project PA) and requires both C949 and C960 first. Those four courses are the degree's most common stall points. Full guides: discrete math and data structures.

The data management pair: D426 Data Management - Foundations (ITEC 2116 in the September 2026 catalog, 3 CUs, data models and normalization, no prerequisites) and D427 Data Management - Applications (ITEC 2117, 4 CUs, MySQL joins, subqueries, and updates, locked behind D426). Both sit in term 4 of the BSCS standard path, and both now have their own completion pages linked below. The term-1 programming course E010 Foundations of Programming (Python) (ITEC 3102) and the term-3 C++ project course C867 (ITSW 2130, 4 CUs) are covered the same way.

Yes, and on the current table they land late. Per the September 2026 catalog, the B.S. Computer Science places D333 Ethics in Technology (HUMN 1101, 3 CUs, no prerequisites stated) in term 9 beside D288 Back-End Programming and the D429 and D682 AI courses: a decision-making process informed by ethical frameworks, worked through cases from surveillance and hacking to artificial intelligence and the digital divide. The degree's other framework-and-people courses are D268 Introduction to Communication in term 4, D270 Composition in term 5, and D459 Introduction to Systems Thinking and Applications in term 9. One correction from earlier catalogs: D336 Business of IT - Applications no longer sits on the computer science table; it now runs on the cloud and network engineering, cybersecurity, IT, and software engineering tables. After a year of math and code, the framework-vocabulary courses are the surprise slowdown of the degree's final stretch. D333, D268, D270, and D459 have their own completion pages linked below, and singles start at $99.

Eleven of the newer rows, with placements verified against the September 2026 catalog: E009 Web Design Fundamentals (ITEC 3121, 3 CUs) in term 2 of both computer science tables, the accessible web design course with catalog-stated no prerequisites, beside C958 Calculus I and D685; D685 Practical Applications of Prompt (ICSC 2212, 2 CUs) in term 2, the generative-AI prompt course the table shares with the BSCS-to-MSCS track, the Cybersecurity, and both IT tables; D686 Operating Systems for Computer Scientists (ITEC 2212, 3 CUs) in term 6, the term both computer science tables share with C950 Data Structures and Algorithms II; D827 Fundamentals of Information Security (ITAS 2111, 3 CUs) filling out that term-6 wall on the regular table and landing in term 7 of the accelerated track, with the same-named D430 (ITAS 2110) of the AI Engineering table disclosed; E082 Linear Algebra for Engineers (ITMS 2104, 3 CUs) in term 7, the applied matrix course behind the AI and machine learning coursework, with the D893 and RKT2 same-name traps disclosed; E155 Advanced Java (ITSW 3327, 3 CUs) in term 8 beside D480, for students who cleared the D286 and D287 Java pair in term 5; and D795 Applied Algorithms and Reasoning (ICSC 5204, 3 CUs) in term 6 of the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS track and term 1 of all three M.S. Computer Science tracks. Newest: D321 AWS Developer (ITCL 3203, 3 CUs, catalog-stated no prerequisites), the AWS SDK, CLI, and test-automation course in term 7 of the regular table beside E082, and term 8 of the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS path beside E155, the Java ladder pair: D287 Java Frameworks (ITSW 3173, 3 CUs) in term 5 sharing the term with D286, with a description-stated foundational Java bar, and D288 Back-End Programming (ITSW 3175, 3 CUs) closing the ladder in term 9 beside D333 and D429, with a description-stated intermediate Java bar, and E074 Agile for Software Engineering (ITSW 2325, 3 CUs), the Scrum, Kanban, and agile leadership course in term 8 of both tables beside C963 and D480, with the catalog's Scrum Alliance certification note carried. Newest: D480 Software Design and Quality Assurance (ITSW 3151, 3 CUs), the bachelor's QA course closing term 8 of both computer science tables beside E074 and E155, grading the full testing family from test plans through regression and usability tests, with the graduate D781 name trap disclosed on its page. The full M.S. Computer Science shared base now has pages end to end, D793 and D796 included, linked from the M.S. page below. Singles start at $99 with a fixed quote in writing first.

Usually less than you fear on the programming side, and more than you expect on the theory side. We map your remaining CUs, front-load courses your background covers, and spend execution time on discrete math, algorithms, architecture, and the project PAs that still block you.

Yes. Discrete math, algorithms, architecture, and other proctored OAs are part of the done-for-you plan, including PingOne device profiling and ProctorU's Guardian Browser when the course requires them. See OA help for how that path works.

WGU builds Linux Essentials, ITIL Foundation, and its own Back-End Developer, AI Optimization Developer, and Java Developer credentials into the degree at no extra cert fee. They add to the resume as soon as earned, even before graduation.

The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month guarantee. If one math OA or one project is the wall, single-course completion starts at $99, quoted before any work. WGU's own tuition ($4,125 per term) is a separate bill.

No. The plan covers scripting, Java, and project PAs from wherever you are. Students with no coding background get a different CU order: foundations earlier, projects after the first exams clear.

Yes. WGU's B.S. Computer Science is ABET-accredited. That is a property of the degree, not of our service. Coursework Ninja is independent and not affiliated with WGU.
