Coursework Ninja completes the WGU B.S. Information Technology degree with its full certification bench: A+, Network+, Security+, Project+, Cloud+, AWS Cloud Practitioner, ITIL 4 Foundation, and Linux Essentials exam paths handled, Python and networks coursework finished, and a written plan that clears remaining CUs 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.
The B.S. Information Technology is WGU's generalist degree, and its breadth is the trap. The catalog carries up to eight industry certifications, from CompTIA A+ through Cloud+, AWS Cloud Practitioner, ITIL 4 Foundation, and LPI Linux Essentials, wrapped around Python programming, networks, security, and the business of IT. Working IT professionals enroll assuming their experience covers it, then discover the exam gates do not care about experience.
We complete the degree the way it is actually structured: foundation exams first, the A+ through Security+ core sequenced with retake room, the cloud and project management certifications after, and the remaining coursework cleared weekly between exam pushes. Six months, a written CU order, and the finish-or-don't-pay guarantee.
- Up to eight certification exam paths handled
- A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, AWS, ITIL, Linux Essentials
- Python, networks, and business-of-IT coursework finished
- 6-month finish-or-don't-pay guarantee
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.

Course map
Key courses in this WGU program
Course names and codes below are verified against WGU's official March 2026 Institutional Catalog (BSIT 202604 standard path: 35 courses, 110 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction to ITE004 | Proctored OA | Broad survey opener; usually the first clear on a new plan |
| IT FoundationsD316 | Cert exam | CompTIA A+ Core 1; hardware objectives punish hands-on techs who skim |
| IT ApplicationsD317 | Cert exam | CompTIA A+ Core 2: OS, security, and troubleshooting objectives close out the pair |
| Network and Security - FoundationsD315 | Proctored OA | Subnetting and protocol basics; prerequisite for the Network+ course |
| NetworksD325 | Cert exam | CompTIA Network+; the cert working techs reschedule the most |
| Network and Security - ApplicationsD329 | Cert exam | CompTIA Security+; four CUs and the biggest single gate in the degree |
| Cloud ApplicationsD318 | Cert exam | CompTIA Cloud+; virtualization and deployment objectives |
| Cloud FoundationsD282 | Cert exam | AWS Cloud Practitioner; vocabulary-heavy and fast with a real schedule |
| Linux FoundationsD281 | Cert exam | LPI Linux Essentials; command-line basics for GUI-raised admins |
| Business of IT - Project ManagementD324 | Cert exam | CompTIA Project+; PM vocabulary over field experience |
| Business of IT - ApplicationsD336 | Cert exam | ITIL 4 Foundation; service value chain terminology |
| Foundations of Programming (Python)E010 | Project PA | First Python deliverable; non-coders stall on the opening script |
| Python for IT AutomationD522 | Project PA | Automation scripting project late in the path; needs working code on schedule |
| Technology GovernanceD822 | Paper (PA) | COBIT and ITIL-aligned frameworks paper; easy to abandon to the final month |

Career outcomes
What graduates do with a B.S. Information Technology
IT generalists start in support, administration, or analyst roles and specialize from there. The degree plus bundled certifications is what gets a resume past the HR filter for the roles below.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| Computer systems analysts | $103,790 | 9% growth |
| Network and computer systems administrators | $96,800 | 4% decline |
| Computer and information systems managers | $171,200 | 15% 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.
Bottlenecks
Where does the WGU IT degree usually stall?
What we see most from IT professionals in this program:
- A+ or Network+ postponed for months by students who work in IT but have never sat the exam
- Certification study consuming entire terms while ordinary courses go untouched
- Exam attempts booked before anyone checked the proctored setup (PingOne, Guardian)
- A transfer evaluation never requested, so certs the student already holds sit unused
- The business-of-IT courses saved for last and colliding with the final certification push

The plan
What does the 6-month IT plan look like?
Months 1-2
Introduction to IT (E004) starts immediately, IT Foundations and IT Applications (D316, D317) book the A+ Core 1 and Core 2 exams early, and ITIL 4 Foundation (D336) and Linux Essentials (D281) clear alongside.
Months 3-4
Network+ (D325), Security+ (D329), and Cloud+ (D318) run in sequence while Foundations of Programming (E010), the data management pair (D426, D427), and the business-of-IT courses clear weekly.
Months 5-6
AWS Cloud Practitioner (D282) and Project+ (D324) close out the cert bench, Python for IT Automation (D522) and Technology Governance (D822) finish the coursework, and buffer weeks protect the written finish date.

Questions, answered
Thirty-five courses, 110 competency units, on the current catalog version. The path mixes general education with the IT core: Python programming, networks, security, data management, cloud, and the business of IT. WGU expects at least 12 CUs cleared per six-month term.
Eight, per WGU's program page: CompTIA A+ (IT Foundations D316 and IT Applications D317), Network+ (Networks, D325), Security+ (Network and Security - Applications, D329), Cloud+ (Cloud Applications, D318), Project+ (Business of IT - Project Management, D324), AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (Cloud Foundations, D282), ITIL 4 Foundation (Business of IT - Applications, D336), and LPI Linux Essentials (Linux Foundations, D281).
Industry certification exams are delivered by the vendor's own testing service with its own identity checks, which is separate from WGU's proctored course exams. WGU course assessments are the done-for-you core; the exact scope for each cert-linked course is confirmed in writing at intake.
Often less than the catalog suggests. Experience covers the concepts, but the certification-linked courses and the Python and business-of-IT work still have to be completed. We map your remaining CUs from WGU's own evaluation and write the plan around what is actually left.
The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee. One blocking cert course can be handled as a single from $99, quoted before any work. WGU tuition ($3,835 per term in the current catalog) is separate, and every term you skip by finishing faster is money kept.
Usually yes. WGU posts many current industry certifications as course credit, which removes those courses from your remaining list. Bring the cert list to intake; the written plan is built from what WGU shows incomplete, so existing certs shrink it directly.
No. The current 35-course path ends with Python for IT Automation (D522), Data Management - Applications (D427), and Cloud Foundations (D282) rather than a capstone project. The closest thing to a final boss is the cert bench itself, which is why the plan sequences it with retake room.
By treating the cert stack as the plan instead of a surprise. Foundation exams clear first, the A+ pair books early, Network+ through Cloud+ run in sequence with retake room, and AWS Cloud Practitioner and Project+ close the bench while ordinary coursework clears weekly between exam pushes.
Eleven of the degree's courses so far, per the September 2026 catalog placements: the CompTIA A+ pair D316 IT Foundations in term 4 and D317 IT Applications in term 5, the networking pair D325 Networks in term 7 and D329 Network and Security - Applications in term 8 (the Network+ and Security+ aligned courses), the Python pair E010 Foundations of Programming in term 8 and D522 Python for IT Automation closing the degree in term 9, plus D336 Business of IT - Applications, the ITIL service-management course the catalog places in term 2, D315 Network and Security - Foundations in term 6, D773 Technology and Ethics, D459 Introduction to Systems Thinking and Applications, and C458 Health, Fitness, and Wellness in term 1. Each page shows exactly what completion covers for that course, and singles start at $99 with the quote fixed in writing first.
