Seeking Advice on Degree Plans: BS Computer Science, BS Cyber Security, and BA Human

[rutpun15]

@rutpun15, Welcome to the board, great initial post with the addendum and template details, out of those institutions, if you're going the cheap, easy, fast and non-proctored option, UMPI BABA PM & IS (Project Management & Info Systems) is what I would recommend, it'll take the bulk of the Sophia.org and Study.com, plus you can take some Coursera, TEEX, cheap/free Certs towards the degree requirements.  I would skip the other institutions, you can research them to decide...

Basically, I usually recommend the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience, this is a very good option for you as it provides you a great ROI/Value if you complete the cheapies or freebies along with the degree.  Create a spreadsheet of what is required and use it for reference/tracking purposes... You can check the general education and degree requirements on the UMPI links here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your detailed and insightful post. Your recommendations for navigating the educational landscape, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity, are invaluable. It's clear you've put a lot of thought and effort into your response, and I truly appreciate it.

I'm intrigued by your suggestion to consider the UMPI BABA PM & IS program as a cost-effective and efficient option. Your breakdown of how it integrates various resources like Sophia.org, Study.com, Coursera, and TEEX is incredibly helpful. The idea of creating a spreadsheet to track requirements is genius and something I'll definitely implement.
That said, I'm also considering the Purdue Global University FastTrack program for cybersecurity. Have you or anyone else here had any experience with it? I'm curious how it stacks up against UMPI in terms of curriculum, reputation, and overall value.
Once again, thank you for your guidance, bjcheung77 . Your expertise is greatly appreciated as I navigate this important decision.

Thank you
