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

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!
