newbie asking for enlightenment on getting cybersecurity degree

[LevelUP]

Purdue University Global is friendly to Sophia and Study, accepts international students, and has a BS in Cybersecurity through their ExcelTrack program, which is competency-based with all-you-can-eat per-term tuition like WGU and UMPI YourPace.

PG uses quarter hours, not semester hours; 1 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours in a typical conversion. So while the typical bachelor’s degree is 120 semester hours, PG’s is 180 quarter hours.

tysm for your response. I was just looking at it. Do you know how much credit I can transfer there? If I transfer the maximum allowed, will I be able to finish the course in one session? meaning a 2500 fee?

With the way the capstone works, it’s impossible to finish PUG in one session. It’s around $2,800 per term with the fees.

If you wanted a cheaper route, I would look into getting the UoPeople Computer Science degree, which you can complete for a total of around $2,000. For cybersecurity knowledge, I would start with Coursera and the IBM/Google certificates.
