looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - jinsamsara - 02-20-2019 Hi Guys, I am a non-US citizen currently living overseas... So WGU is out. My ultimate aim is to do the MS Cybersecurity Georgia Tech and would appreciate if I can get experienced helpers to guide me on this. I am leaning towards Excelsior College due to the UL they given for my IT certifications that I have. CCNA R&S - 6UL CompTIA N+ - 3UL CompTIA S+ - 3UL CEH - 3UL CCNA CyberOps - ?? Currently I have completed or have signed up the following courses. Sophia -------- Ancient Greek Philosophers Developing Effective Teams The Essentials of Managing Conflict College Algebra - in progress Introduction to Statistics - in progress Conflict Resolutions - in progress Straighterline ------------- Business Ethics Cultural Anthropology Organizational Behaviour Priciples of Management US History 1 US History 2 Western Civilization 1 Western Civilization 2 Introduction to Environmental Science Introduction to Criminal Justice Introduction to Biology w/o lab- in progress English Comp 1 - in progress English Comp 2 - in progress TEEX ---------- Cyber Security for Business Professionals Cyber Security for Everyone Cyber Security for IT Professionals I will move on to study.com to do the rest after completing the in progress courses above. I am thinking of doing 12 credits with Excelsior (BSIT with general concentration)to save on the other misc fees, which at the end will cost me between 5k to 5.5k. Would like to check if I will get GPA at the end since most of the courses are transferred in. Any guidance is appreciated.. I didnt put TESU or COSC because they seems to need chemistry or bio with lab... which I dont think it is doable from my side. RE: looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - sanantone - 02-20-2019 There are online lab courses. You either do a virtual lab, or you do the lab in your home and upload pictures and/or video. I don't know how strictly they enforce this, but Georgia Tech says that a bachelor's degree in computer science or computer engineering is required. Excelsior does not offer a computer science program. Georgia will make exceptions if you have relevant work experience. RE: looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - jinsamsara - 02-20-2019 I have been working in IT industry for over 10 years now. I am thinking of applying for the course, or do the Rochester MicroMaster and move on from there. JSD seems to be able to use his WGU degree for Georgia Tech and I am curious to find out what were the requirements for him. As for the bachelor, I am thinking of COSC and TESU as well, but I am not sure if they do give UL as generous as Excelsior. My Straighterline membership will end this 27th and I still got 3 subjects to complete, thus I doubt I can squeeze in a lab and finish it in such a short time, anyone has any experience with the Straighterline's bio lab? And if I can do the lab, I think COSC can be another choice for me. TESU seems to need chem 1 and 2 with labs.... RE: looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - jsd - 02-20-2019 Here are the requirements for the OMS Cybersecurity (Info Sec Track -- I have since switched into the Polixu track). I also have about 9 years of experience in the field. If I were to do it over again I'd spend some time brushing up on coding skills and cryptography.

JSD seems to be able to use his WGU degree for Georgia Tech and I am curious to find out what were the requirements for him.I'm not so sure that TESU requires labs for their programs outside of a few degrees(engineering technology, technical studies, a few others). I never saw mention of lab sciences being required for the BACS or some of the IT degrees at TESU. As far as I know, COSC only requires a single lab science course for their degrees. As mentioned, there are multiple options for lab sciences, the vast majority of the alternative options seem to involve buying a lab kit, doing the experiments on your own and documenting and submitting the results. There are a handful of completely online virtual labs including the bio lab on study.com. Also, even if excelsior gives you more UL credits, tesu requires less overall, so you'd have to do a side by side comparison to see which is really better. All 3 of the big 3 have their pros and cons.

RE: looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - MNomadic - 02-20-2019 Ok I see it now. I was thinking about the BSBA in CIS. It seems going for a CS degree and not an IT degree would be seen as more favorable to Georgia tech. And if both degrees require a comparable amount of time, money and effort, then I'd personally, go for the one which is more likely to get me to my goal.

Do you have any international college credits that you are going to transfer or get evaluated? How did you come up with the 5k/5.5k in total cost, or is that the cost at Excelsior alone? If you don't get into the MS Cybersecurity at Georgia Tech, what other option have you come up with? Do you have a backup plan? Would you go for a Bachelors/Masters at the same school? How much are you looking to spend on the Bachelors? Do you get tuition reimbursement? Do you get IT exams reimbursed?

So the cost will come to 5050 and worst come to worst should be within 5.5k max if I take 12 credits with EC. I am not thinking of transferring any of my previous college studies. I will finish up the rest with study.com courses. Below are the courses I am thinking of getting... CS 115 - programming in Java CS 103 - Computer Concepts & Applications CS 102 - Fundamentals of Information Technology CS 105 - Introduction to Operating Systems CS 302 - Systems Analysis & Design CS 303 - Database Management CS 306 - Computer Architecture Math 108 - Discrete Maths LS 101 - Information Literacy English 305 - Advanced Technical Writing Project Management If I failed to get into Georgia Tech, I will likely to aim for RITx https://www.edx.org/micromasters/ritx-cybersecurity or take a break before scouting again. RE: looking for BSIT, or related BS degree that can be used for Georgia Tech MS - bjcheung77 - 02-21-2019 My recommendation is to try the following two schools for their competency programs. You can take the undergrad/graduate program at the same school or switch things around. These programs can rival WGU's offerings and at a slightly cheaper or different price point.
