I somehow pulled off a 4.0 for the whole degree, and my Masters in Cybersecurity (Policy) is (unofficially) complete!

Kind of amazing that this repeated college dropout who didn't take any schooling seriously until just a few years ago, decades after someone my age should have been well past all of that, has been able to pull this off... but here I am. Maybe I'll make a larger post once it's all official and conferred, but I can't tell everyone here how grateful I am I found this place. From when I first poked my head in and decided to go to Patten U, gave up on that mess and finished up my first Bacherlors at TESU, decided "why not" and got a second one at WGU, then kept the ball rolling to a Masters at a top 10 public university in the country, the encouragement and support, on top of the insane wealth of knowledge here made the experience so rewarding.

Thanks everyone!

This will be for the Information Security Track (as opposed to their Energy Systems Track or Policy Track). I thought this was a long shot when I applied, especially since they said they were limiting the first round of admissions to 250 students and there was a very large application pool.

Classes start January 7th, and I'm limited to taking two courses at a time. So this will be a much longer program than I'm used to, which might be hard to adjust to after finishing two undergrad degrees in about year or less each.

I'll use this thread as a progress share once I start up, and let everyone know how the program goes.

I'm very excited, even though a little nervous about the caliber of work and having to commit to such a long program.

Go Yellow Jackets!
