Anyone know of grad programs that honor IT certs for credit, such as CISSP, CEH or even C|CISO?

Everything I have have noticed, as I recall, gives undergrad credit.

Western Governors University has a MS in Information Security Assurance. As part of the program, one need to do complete the following certifications. If you already passed them, you can claim credit for it. Best thing is, their fee is about $3000 flat per semester, and the fee for these certifications is included in their fee.
  • Interconnection Cisco Networking Devices Part I Exam (ICND1, 640-822)
  • EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker Exam (312-50)
  • EC-Council Exam 312-49 for the Computer Hacking Forensics
  • GIAC ISO-2700 (G2700) Exam

If I recall Charles Sturt in Australia will grant grad credit for an MCSE but that's about it to my knowledge. Are there any programs at WGU that will grant credit, maybe for a grad degree in IA?

Thanks! I attended WGU for a 1/2 year in 2010 as an undergrad. I already have the CEH, so that's a plus.
