Reviews
Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.
by Ivan C. on October 4, 2026
This course was a bit long-winded for an "Introduction" to databases (it was more than just an introduction). Although it has plenty of useful info on relational databases, much of it seemed like stuff I wouldn't need for an IT job, unless I was going for (planning on transferring to WGU's IT track)
by Rachel F. on October 3, 2026
It was a nice and easy course to understand. I moved through it fast because I had taken a class that was very similar in high school. I definitely recommend it if you need something fast. I was able to do this all in one whole day. It took a decent amount of hours but defiantly worth it.
by Jose D. on October 3, 2026
The class is very engaging and is a good opportunity to learn and go over statistics concepts.
