Affordable Grad-Level Cybersecurity Courses for Transfer Credit - msmjj01 - 09-04-2025
I’m trying to figure out the most affordable way to take some graduate-level cybersecurity and computer science courses that I can later transfer. I only need about five courses, so I’m not looking for a full degree right now. The types of courses I’m looking for are:
Ethics, Law, and Policy in Cyberspace
Secure Programming
Operating Systems
Computer Security
Networking and Security
Cryptography: Algorithms and Applications
Computer Forensics
Secure Network Operations
Advanced Network Security
Ideally, I’d like to find cheap per-course options (letter graded) under $1,500 if possible, or a competency-based or subscription model where I can take multiple courses in one term for a flat fee, allowing me to finish as many as I can. The courses should be graduate-level and transcripted from an accredited school or provider so they’re transferable.
Has anyone here come across schools, online programs, or organizations that let you do this without committing to a full master’s degree upfront? Any recommendations for budget-friendly options would be greatly appreciated.

WGU's masters in cybersecurity allows you to transfer in cybersecurity certifications. Other colleges might as well. Might be more worthwhile to pursue those for transfer credit.

Thanks. Anything that’s cheaper than WGU 4k… perhaps just a la cart or ace converter grad level courses in cyber security?
