For the WGU IT major

You avoid taking CompTIA project+ by doing Sopha project management. (I did Sophia's course in one day)
(Project+ is reportedly easier than A+)

AWS Cloud Practitioner can be done in 2-7 days.

ITIL Foundations Cert is reportedly pretty easy.

Finite Mathematics might be tough to do if you are weak in math. 

Networks & Network and Security - Applications you have done already.

WGU thoughts

WGU is pretty easy till you hit a hard class or tough cert. Some certs can be done easily in a week while a few can take over a month to study for.
Thank you!

This makes sense and is what I was originally considering but that Project+ has been eluding me for 2 terms now. With the Sophia option, wouldn’t I have to leave WGU for 6 months to do that and transfer it in? Or how would that work?

It's probably not worth it to go through the reenrollment process for a few courses. I'm not sure how long you have to wait before you attempt to enroll again.

You're only 5 courses from being done, that is pretty close though some of those certs are tough. 

The CompTIA CySa+ cert isn't an easy one to get. 

Checking some of the Reddit posts, they are taking 2-4 weeks to get the cert at best

I would buy those practice tests on Udemy to help study for those types of certs. If you can pass the practice test, then hopefully you can pass the real deal.
