Purdue Global: Free Courses for Covid-Impacted Workers

[innen_oda]

Since I just submitted my final assignment for the cybersecurity course, I thought I'd follow up with my experiences:

Overall, I really enjoyed my class and thought it was really well done. I'm still set on getting an IT degree from WGU but now I'm strongly considering returning to PUG for a postbac or graduate certificate in cybersecurity.

My specific course was surprisingly heavy on written papers and the professor confirmed that it was an unusually high amount. However, I did skip 2 papers and expect to still finish with an "A" since I had been getting top marks on my other assignments. Overall, their platform seems pretty well put together and the quality of instruction and the professor were all top notch. Now I'm moving on to my ASU courses, but I will have fond memories of my brief PUG experience.

I took a different course, but my sentiments mirror yours. A decent amount of work required, but it was structured well and I feel like I learned a decent amount.

They have a quarter credit system - not only does it make it confusing to calculate the real costs of getting a degree through them (possibly that's intentional, lol), but converting that into normal credits (divide by 1.5) indicates it's worth 4 credits, which seems like a lot for a 10 week course.
