COSC BS in Cyber Security

[alab21]

I'm looking for feedback on the list below. I've been looking at various tech degrees for family members, and with the latest course additions from study.com, I *think* there's a few that plug into the AOS for the Cybersecurity degree at Charter Oak. Someone will have to test it, I guess; I'm not enrolled. There are still some holes, some of which might be filled by certs, but I haven't found anything that conclusively says what certs map to what for COSC. Anyone have that info?

I noted CC on some of the certs above, because the dual credit CC courses my son will be taking this year are using the cert books for A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, etc... So theoretically, he would get the "hands on" he needs to pass the certs needed for some of the online degrees. This degree may be a backup plan for him, if the wall of math they drop on him at the 4yr b&m becomes too terrifying...he really hates math! 

I recall seeing a post from quigonegene that maybe CISSP would satisfy some of these, but that requires experience that a kid wouldn't have, so I need to go fish for alternatives (certs or courses or both!). 


TIA!

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out myself, which is why I just ended up going to WGU instead. It seems they made some changes to the program since JTP went through it.

Also, the CISSP, while useful (it did give 16 UL credits), gave weird numbers, such as .5 credits towards a course.

Yeah, it may be what happens—again, it’s a backup plan for now. He is just starting dual credit, so he’s got a few years to sort it out. I just thought since study.com added what looks like a few viable options, and he’s hoping to sit for some certs that might knock out requirements, this might be an option. Maybe more info will come in the meantime too.

At some point my husband and I may finish our degrees too, so the info is also relevant for us.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering how study.com class's would fit into COSC.

You’re welcome. Keep in mind this is my guess based on some old data (JTP) and how the new courses look like they *might* fit. Someone needs to volunteer as tribute to test it.

I'm following closely too. My son is doing an AAS and I am sure many of his security / IT courses will fill that program -he is also earning certs that should work in there at some point. We have some downtime with him and I want to work this out so he can get a max transfer into that program too. He has filled in almost every gen ed requirement (not cornerstone) but I want to make sure that when he graduates from his CC that he has as much of that degree finished as possible.
I have no answers, only questions.

This is what I've come up with using Study courses. I'm guessing but they "seem" to fit and we came to the same conclusion on a few-yay!
