I need help figuring out how to finally obtain Bachelors, advice appreciated
#1
Location: South Carolina, USA
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: I’m currently a Cybersecurity and Information Assurance major at WGU but I’m trying to see how I can finish my bachelors fastest at this point, I’m really struggling to get a couple of these remaining required certifications and will likely need to change my major and I’m feeling really stuck. I really just need to finish my bachelors and move on with life. I’d probably like to pursue a masters in history or English eventually. I’m considering something like TESU/Excelsior/COSC that might take a lot of my credits and let me just finish out some sort of bachelors quickly. I’m a freelance writer mostly focused in tech and music which I intend to keep growing with. I also just love history and English and have thought about eventually becoming an adjunct professor or similar. The current goal is just to have something to show for the time and money I’ve spent on trying to get through a bachelors, I feel like I keep hitting walls and not finishing and I’m frustrated. 


Current Regional Accredited Credits:
I have an AAS in Computer Technology - Information Systems Specialistfrom Trident Technical College in Charleston, SC
(https://www.tridenttech.edu/catalog2023/...alist.html)

From WGU I also have successfully completed:


Network and Security - Applications
Fundamentals of information security
Networks
Introduction to Cryptography
Legal issues in information security
Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity
Data Management - Applications
Digital forensics in cybersecurity

Managing Information Security
Any certifications or military experience?
CompTIA A+ 
CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Security+
Jira Fundamentals Badge Atlassian
Confluence Fundamentals Badge Atlassian
Budget: as cheap as possible, I’m on financial aid with WGU but I’ve nearly maxed out Pell. I’m also married with 3 kids and a dog. 
Commitments: family and work, but there’s flexibility to study 
Dedicated time to study: several hours per day/night
Timeline: I really would like to be finished by the end of the year if at all possible
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: nope, I’m self employed 

ETA
Trying to find my actual AAS coursework, this is what transferred to WGU:
ETA: Couldn’t figure out how to attach photo. 

Have requested transcript for AAS to give fuller picture of my credits. It should arrive within 3 days.
