Forum newbie headed to WGU for BSCSIA (I think)

[LevelUP]

Certifications are free to do at WGU, though you could transfer in some of the hardest certs to give you a bit of a head start.  Not sure which are the hardest, but I would guess CCSP, SSCP, CySA+, PenTest+. (ask quigongene) Most of the other certs people can do in a couple of weeks.

Check the DF Wiki for the WGU Cybersecurity plan.

Already have A+, Net+, and Sec+. Won't have to worry about PenTest+ if I pass this CEH exam I'm sitting for in a couple of weeks. **fingers crossed**

I'll have to check the wiki for that plan

That's great then that you have experience in taking these certifications tests.  Those require some discipline which is why I think it's a good idea to take a few if you got no experience. 

If you follow the wiki plan:  (you can skip critical thinking if you want as it's probably easier at WGU)

Then add certifications you already have + CEH, you will be at 89 total transfer credits I think

I suggest making a spreadsheet to plan your degree.

Also, which AP exam have you taken?

Macroeconomics, which I'm assuming will cover the Intro to Geography class, whose transfer requirement is "one course, equivalent to 3 units, in geography. This requirement can also be satisfied by one course equivalent to 3 units, in the behavioral or social sciences (history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, economics, or political science)."

Yup, that should do it.
