WGU M.A. in Teaching completion, academic CUs cleared in 6 months

No. Live classroom performance, observations, and student teaching stay with you. We complete the academic load around those windows: the OAs, PAs, and graded tasks of the degree.

Yes. Weekly targets lighten during grading periods and observation windows and get heavier over breaks. The 6-month finish date is written against your real calendar at intake.

The master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month guarantee for the agreed academic CUs. A single blocking OA or PA starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.

The academic load is the same shape across tracks (elementary, math, science, English, and others): pedagogy OAs, content exams, and lesson-design PAs. We confirm coverage for your specific track and content area at intake.

Per the August 2026 catalog, all 9 M.A. Teaching tracks share the same term-1 cluster: D752 The Education Professional (2 CUs, and the catalog states it is not transferable), D665 Learner Development and the Science of Learning, D635 Practices for Inclusive Classrooms, and D636 Establishing Positive and Engaging Learning Environments, each 2 CUs, followed in term 2 by D842 Technology and Ethics: A Look at Emerging Trends and Society. We complete all five as singles or inside the $3,500 master's package, and each has its own completion page under /courses. Live classroom work, observations, and student teaching stay with you.

Per the August 2026 catalog, term 2 continues the shared core: D637 Curriculum and Instructional Strategies for Meaningful Learning, D638 Monitoring Student Learning Through Assessment, and D639 Technology for Instruction and Online Pedagogy, each 2 CUs in all 9 tracks, with Special Education candidates taking D638 and D639 in term 3 instead. The catalog states D638 requires students to design an assessment based on evidence-based practices. The small course at the end is D743 Education Portfolio (EDUC 6337, 1 CU), term 8 in elementary and special education and term 6 in the secondary tracks, where the portfolio D752 starts in term 1 gets finished. All four have their own completion pages under /courses and fold into the $3,500 master's package; student teaching always stays with you.

Mid-term works. We size weekly targets against the months you actually have left and the observation windows on your calendar, then write the finish date against that reality.

Yes, in 8 of the 9 tracks. Per the August 2026 catalog, Secondary Literacy Methods and Interventions (D770, EDUC 5250, 2 CUs) sits in term 4 of the secondary English, mathematics, biological science, chemistry, earth science, physics, and social studies tracks plus special education: MTSS tiers, screening tools, progress monitoring, and personalized intervention plans for adolescent readers. The elementary track is the one path without it. Watch the naming: the bachelor's degrees carry a different course with the identical name (D769, EDUC 3287, 3 CUs), so quote by the code on your program plan. Both have their own completion pages under /courses, and D770 folds into the $3,500 master's package.

Per the September 2026 catalog, the seven secondary M.A. Teaching tracks share a graduate methods pair after the shared core: D808 General Secondary Methods (EDUC 5327, 2 CUs) in term 3, where candidates create and assess lesson plans with differentiated instruction, formative and summative assessment, and technology integration including AI tools, and D806 Secondary Disciplinary Literacy (EDUC 5275, 2 CUs) in term 4, term 5 in mathematics education, which the catalog states is assessed through a performance assessment task. Each name has an undergraduate twin at a different code (D807 and D805, 3 CUs), so quote by the code on your program plan. Both have their own completion pages under /courses and fold into the $3,500 master's package; student teaching always stays with you.

Yes, three courses. Per the September 2026 catalog, the elementary track runs D699 Elementary Mathematics Curriculum (EDUC 5090, 2 CUs) and D700 Early Mathematics Methods and Interventions (EDUC 5091, 2 CUs) together in term 4, then D701 Elementary Mathematics Methods and Interventions (EDUC 5092, 2 CUs) in term 5; the special education track schedules the same three across terms 5 and 6. Each name has an undergraduate twin at a different code and CU count (D691, D692, and D693, 3 CUs each), so quote by the code on your program plan. All three have their own completion pages under /courses and fold into the $3,500 master's package; the early clinical that shares term 4 always stays with you.

Yes, five courses. Per the September 2026 catalog, the elementary track stacks four literacy courses together in term 3: D677 Elementary Literacy Curriculum (EDUC 5082), D676 Early Literacy Methods (EDUC 5081), D675 Elementary Literacy Methods (EDUC 5080), and D696 Foundations of Literacy Through Literature (EDUC 5087), each 2 CUs, then closes the block in term 4 with D697 Literacy Assessment and Interventions (EDUC 5088, 2 CUs) beside the early clinical and the first two math courses. The special education track schedules the same five across terms 4 and 5. Each name has an undergraduate twin at a different code and CU count (D668, D669, D670, D688, and D689, 3 CUs each), so quote by the code on your program plan. All five have their own completion pages under /courses and fold into the $3,500 master's package; the clinical hours beside them always stay with you.

Per the September 2026 catalog, 22 rows across 6 terms. The professional core fills terms 1 and 2 (D752, D665, D635, D636, then D842, D637, D638, D639), then the math-specific rows arrive: D808 General Secondary Methods, D902 Secondary Mathematics Curriculum, and the D904 and D903 algebra and geometry teaching courses in term 3; D770 literacy methods, D906 Methods of Teaching Secondary Mathematics, and D905 statistics for teaching in term 4 beside the early clinical; D806 disciplinary literacy and the advanced clinical in term 5; then student teaching and the D743 portfolio in term 6. We complete every academic row on that path; the observation, clinical, and student-teaching hours stay with you. The shared-name trap is heaviest on this track: D904 and D903 match the bachelor's D898 and D895 and the licensed-teacher M.A.'s C880 and C882, and the licensed-teacher M.A. versions of both now have their own completion pages, so quote by the code on your plan.
