Want to enroll/get an education

Hmm... It's still neck and neck for me, either #1 Pierpont BOG AAS> UMPI BAS> UMPI MAOL or the #2 WGU accelerated BSIT/MS option.  It's going to be very close in terms of energy, money, speed... However, UMPI can and should be 'cheaper, easier, faster' if you speed through this and complete it with the time you currently have.

Hmm, I wasn’t aware of the WGU accelerated BSIT/MS option but it now has gotten my interest, May be the route I take. I will look into both of these options a little more and see what I decide.

Yeah, basically, take a look at both of them, they're pretty good with a balanced mix/match trifecta I have been recommending - certs, degree, experience. You can try to get a good ROI/Value with either of those options...

Hello again! Coming near the end of sept and am now trying to finalize my plans. WGU accelerated IT bachelors/masters is what I am highly considering. With that being said, I have recently heard of ECU( east Carolina university) bachelors ICT degree in cybersecurity which has really intrigued me and wanted to know if anyone has heard of it or have any information they can provide about ecu? I know they allow up to 90 transfer credits and will take Sophia and study.com credits etc but seems they are a little more strict as to what courses they’ll actually accept as credit from those sites. I’ll provide a link to the degree program I’m referring to as well as their course equivalency tool and alt credit page (study dot come etc) which shows some courses that have already been sent and reviewed by them below for anyone who stumbles on this and hasn’t heard of ecu and wants to check it out themselves. Ofcourse as always I appreciate any help/insight I can receive, thank you all very much! All thoughts welcomed

I haven't heard of ECU but I've been trying to convince my friend to give University of the Cumberlands a shot. $220 per credit hour with no additional fees. Allows 90 transfer credits and accepts a lot of alt credits including Sophia. You can't accelerate this program though so if speed is your priority, WGU is probably your best bet.

Interesting thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a look, haven’t heard of Cumberland before but $220 per credit hour is really affordable.
