REQUIRED BUNDLE COURSE
Program for Academic and Career Advancement (PACA)
Have you ever heard the term Thriving Mindset? When you have this mindset, you approach life with curiosity. You are eager to learn new things, reach goals, manage your emotions, and develop resilience. With resilience, you can adapt to and overcome obstacles you encounter. Sound interesting?
In PACA (the Program for Academic and Career Advancement), you will work on your Thriving Mindset to learn about what makes you tick. You will explore your motivations and how they impact your goal setting. You will strengthen your belief in your own abilities. And you will reflect on your emotions and how they influence your outlook and actions. These skills will help you succeed in school, at work, and in your personal life. In fact, as you take this course, you may even see your relationships with others evolve and improve.
As you progress in this course, you will find a path to success that is uniquely your own. Along the way, you will discover how mindfulness can keep you centered and focused. You will develop empathy for others—but also for yourself. And these skills will help you make the most out of all that you do.
The material you study in this course may be challenging. Sometimes self-exploration can be uncomfortable. But try not to shy away from that discomfort. Your PACA Coach is available to help you understand and manage your response to challenges. If you encounter topics or assessments that seem overwhelming, be sure to ask for help! Your WGU Academy team is here to support you every step of the way.

English Composition I
What emotions does the phrase English Composition bring about for you? Your love of reading? Learning new things? Or worries about grammar and long papers to write?
In English Composition I, you will indeed learn new things and write papers. But you will gain so much more. This class will help you acquire skills that will benefit you not only in the classroom but also at home and work. You will discover ways to express yourself effectively. You will communicate your values, describe events, read critically, and argue your position. Enhancing these skills will help you in nearly every aspect of your daily life.
If writing is not your strength right now, this is your chance to improve! Your course instructors are available to brainstorm and answer questions. And you can count on support from your WGU Academy team every step of the way.

BUNDLE COURSE OPTION
U.S. History
Are you a history buff? Do you love hearing stories of those who came before us? Or when you think of history, do you imagine a random collection of boring dates and events?
In U.S. History, you will learn about important dates and events. But they will never be random or boring. Instead, you will dive into the lives of the people who founded this country. You will learn about the obstacles they faced. You will read first-hand accounts of people who fought for their rights and tried to change our nation for the better.
Along the way, you will come to see how human fears and emotions can impact the government. You will notice how people can make mistakes. And you will see how history can repeat itself. Gaining this perspective will help you understand the past. It will also help you better understand the present. And maybe it will help you play a role in a brighter future.
In this course, you will find that history can be quite compelling. You will be encouraged to think about not only how history unfolded but why things happened the way they did. As you study, you may relate to the feelings and worries that people experienced. This may help shed light on some of the emotions and challenges faced by Americans in today’s world. If you encounter material or assessments that seem overwhelming, be sure to ask for help! Your WGU Academy team is here to support you every step of the way.
BUNDLE COURSE OPTION
Introduction to Statistics
When you think of statistics, do you think of complicated tables? Or confusing percentages? Statistics is more than that! When you study data, you see how numbers repeat. You see how things can fit together and form patterns.
In statistics, you will discover how data can help you sort through information. Suddenly, what seemed like random numbers will all make sense. You will learn about probability, which is the basis for statistics. Then you can predict how likely it is that something will occur.
Along the way, you may get to know yourself a little better. Maybe you will see patterns in your own life. You can see how certain numerical information—such as assessment scores or grocery prices—can affect you. Then you might notice how you react to such data. Can you change anything to adapt to the numbers around you?
In this course, you will find that statistics can help you organize your life. You will be encouraged to understand how data works and how patterns form. There are times when you may feel overwhelmed by all you are learning. In that case, be sure to ask for help! Your instructor and the rest of the WGU Academy team are here to support you every step of the way.
