Cybersecurity Degree Question
#12
(07-13-2020, 10:34 AM)bluebooger Wrote: WGU offers
B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance

but if you have zero experience with networking and have done nothing more than dabble with python and sql then you shouldn't do it

instead you should do one of these from WGU
B.S. Cloud Computing
B.S. Network Operations and Security
B.S. Computer Science

> I think (but I'm not positive) that cybersecurity is one of the easier degrees to complete with alternate credits, at least through TESU.

that I would like to see
please post a list of alternate credits that apply to a cybersecurity at TESU
https://www.tesu.edu/ast/programs/bs-cybersecurity

Yeah that's what I was thinking after reading about WGU's Cyber IA program. The description of the program states it's mainly for people with an IT background/experience and that doesn't describe me at all lol.

Perhaps I shouldn't pursue since I have no idea how to print out TESU's academic evaluation report through their online Student WebAdvisor site. I looked at the amount of credits they will accept for three programs so far:

BA in CS
SH applied to degree: 77
SH remaining: 43
SH to be planned: 27

BS in Cyber
SH applied to degree: 55
SH remaining: 65
SH to be planned: 59

BS in IT
SH applied to degree: 61
SH remaining: 59
SH to be planned: 43

Ouch. 65 SH remaining for Cyber! The BA in CS remaining looks a lot better but it requires calculus and discrete math. Math is probably my weakest subject but I think I could get through it, maybe. Would SH remaining influence your answer as to what degree to pursue? I'm not sure how my transfer credits apply to WGU's degree programs as I have yet to send in all my transcripts to them.
