Need advice in putting together degree plan for my wife (and me)

[CassandraMT]

Here is the transfer guidelines, it's helpful with knowing which courses and more importantly certs will be accepted for the different areas.

I forgot that the Cybersecurity DSST might also work in there.  My husband took it and it counted for Fund. of InfoSec.  The MIS DSST exam counted for Business of IT-Applications.

And, don't forget that certs will be included in the degree itself, so don't pay hundreds for a cert that you're going to get within the degree.  But there are certs that don't come with the degree, and those might be worth taking before you enroll.  I think the cert that will give you the biggest bang for your buck for this degree is the CISSP, so if she can take that one, it's worth doing (possibly like 17cr).  But it's considered one of the harder exams, so don't spend 6 months studying for it either.

Also, unlike TESU, WGU doesn't have 60cr of gen eds - their gen ed's are generally only about 25-30% of the degrees.  So don't bother trying to get 60cr of gen eds.  It's a waste of time there.  Just get the 33cr you need and move on.

Thanks, the CISSP was the one is was trying to remember. I'll use this info to further tweak her plan.

And for yourself? Have you signed up under your own ID yet? Or are you going to share this one, and still looking for assistance for you own plan?  It would be easier if you had your own ID and a separate posting so things don't get crossed or lost.

I'll probably share this one. We talked a bit about something for me, but the problem comes down to what I might want to do. If I went for something like Computer Science or CIS it would probably be more for the money than a love of programing, as I'm trying to learn Python right now and getting easily stuck in the beginning lessons. (Not to mention how many CS degrees are being pumped out at a huge rate right now.) I have always had an interest in politics, but does something like political science really help me get a better job? What can I find that's somewhere in the area of something I might actually want to do and something that is useful? I asked for a few recommendations, but until I have that answer I'll probably just blast through some general ed courses right along with her.

Quick question, I see that intro to Geography is listed as a CLEP that we can do through Modern States, but I don't see it listed there. Is it gone or is that the Social Sciences and History one?
