New WGU IT degrees coming: BS Cyber Security (June), BS/MS Computer Science (unknown)

[jsd]

They indicated they won't be switching up their existing MS in Cyber Security degree upon launching the BS, which I assume means that CEH an CHFI will remain part of the MS and not be included in the BS. If I had to guess, the BS will include CompTIA's new CSA+ (Cyber Security Analyst) and their established CASP (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner). All of their IT plans already include CompTIA Security+ so I imagine that will be in there too. These aren't particularly impressive certifications unfortunately, but what can you do.

it's be interesting to see them do something like knowck CEH and CHFI down to the BS level, and use the MS to prepare you for CISSP... but especially with CISSP's years of in-field experience requirement I imagine it's just not feasible (aside form them saying they're not tinkering with the MS).
