I am considering the WGU MS Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program. The program admission requirements say that you must presently meet one of three combinations of degree and experience.
If you do not already have a Bachelor in IT that covers two CISSP domains, then you must have three years of verifiable cybersecurity experience. One of the options is to possess ANY R.A. Bachelor and three verifiable years. Seeing as I presently only possess a B.A.L.S. from TESU(or will in two weeks), I would need to document three verifiable years of IT security experience. No problem there.
My question is....has anyone here completed this program, and do you have any feedback or suggestions? I am still "guarded" about WGU and how they are perceived in the job market, but they are exceedingly tempting, at this point. I work full time, and have kids. The competency model is a big plus for me.
Would love to hear input from anyone that has experience with this program and WGU overall.
Thanks,
