Coursework Ninja completes the WGU B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics) academic load: electricity and magnetism, waves and sound, and astrophysics assessments finished, calculus and general science courses cleared, secondary science methods PAs delivered to the rubric, paced around clinical and student-teaching windows, with remaining academic CUs done 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. Science Education (Secondary Physics) is 40 courses to a secondary physics teaching license: General Physics II with lab, electricity and magnetism, waves and sound, astrophysics with lab, and calculus, on a general science base, plus teaching methods, clinicals, and a student-teaching term. Physics teachers are the scarcest hire in most districts, and the people finishing this degree are usually already working full time.
We complete the academic load: the physics content assessments and lab courses, calculus, the general science base, and the secondary methods PAs, sequenced around clinical and student-teaching windows on a written weekly schedule. Live classroom requirements stay with you. Remaining academic CUs finished in 6 months under the agreed plan, or you do not pay.
- Electricity and magnetism, waves, and astrophysics assessments finished
- Calculus and general science courses cleared
- Secondary science methods PAs completed
- 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.

Certifications and transfers
Certifications, licensure, and transfer reality
Student teaching, preclinical experiences, demo teaching, or clinical/practicum hours stay with you. We complete the academic assessments and papers around those pieces, confirmed in writing at intake. Transfer credit varies by transcript. Our completion fee is separate from WGU tuition.
Career outcomes
What graduates do with a B.S. Physics Education
Physics teachers are the scarcest license in secondary education, which is why many districts add stipends for the assignment. Base pay still follows district schedules, shown here as national medians.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| High school teachers | $64,580 | 2% decline |
| Middle school teachers | $62,970 | 2% decline |
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 physics education degree usually stall?
What we see most from future physics teachers:
- Electricity and magnetism postponed because it is the hardest exam left, not the next one
- Lab-report PAs written like engineering notes when the evaluator grades rubric sections
- Calculus deferred to the end, then blocking the physics courses that need it
- Clinical hours deleting the long problem-set evenings the degree runs on

The plan
What does the 6-month physics education plan look like?
Months 1-2
Calculus I and the general science base cleared first, with the first methods PA submitted early so evaluator feedback shapes the pipeline.
Months 3-4
General Physics II, electricity and magnetism, and waves on weekly clears, methods PAs interleaved, paced around clinical windows and the school calendar.
Months 5-6
Astrophysics and the remaining academic CUs close before student teaching peaks. Revision buffer protected; the finish date holds in writing.

Questions, answered
No. Clinical experiences, observation hours, and student teaching are live, supervised placements and stay with you. We complete the academic assessments: physics OAs, lab PAs, and methods tasks.
Yes. Electricity and magnetism, waves, and astrophysics are completed on the standard done-for-you plan, with proctored exam environments handled when a course requires them.
The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat, which covers the agreed remaining academic CUs with the written 6-month finish guarantee. A single blocking course starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.
Significantly. Engineering coursework and daily math fluency convert directly into cleared OAs, and transfer credit often waives the base. We map your exact remaining list at intake and write the finish date against it.
The program leads to initial secondary physics licensure, and WGU designs it for eligibility across the United States. State testing requirements vary; those exams, clinicals, and student teaching remain yours.
Two groups. First the broad-science base and the methods pair: per the September 2026 catalog (the 40-course, 124-CU BSSESP 202603 table), this degree places D849 General Biology I and its separate 1-CU D850 lab in term 3, D807 General Secondary Methods in term 5, D845 General Physics I and its separate 1-CU D846 lab in term 6 beside D890 Calculus I, and D805 Secondary Disciplinary Literacy in term 8. The survey sciences stall future physics teachers because the major's own courses always outrank them, and the D805 literacy task lands right as student teaching approaches. Second, the physics content core itself, now mapped end to end with its own completion pages linked below: D860 General Physics II with Lab (PHYS 3000, 4 CUs) and D861 Electricity and Magnetism (PHYS 3010, 3 CUs) in term 7 beside the D875 methods course, then D862 Astrophysics with Lab (PHYS 3020, 4 CUs), D863 Waves, Acoustics, and Sound (PHYS 3030, 3 CUs), and D864 Secondary Physics Curriculum (EDUC 3225, 3 CUs) closing term 8, the last content row before the clinical terms. Singles start at $99 with a fixed quote in writing first.
