BS IT Security at Western Governors University (WGU BSITSECU) Strategy help

[timmmay]

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to stop in to say hi, and give a quick update on my process. Eleven months ago I was fired up about getting a degree through WGU and was able to complete the three ACE transferable classes through ALEKS before their certification lapsed. WGU then released a new degree, BS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, which was more in line with my current skill set and interests. I began to reformulate my plan for transfer credits, and also prepare for a new baby (Surprise! oops, haha) so I had to put off actual enrollment. Fast forward a bit, and I was able to get my CISSP certification, and also the CCNA Cyber Ops certification that was offered through a CISCO scholarship, and now my first term at WGU starts in two and a half weeks! Some transfer info: CISSP covered four classes, CCENT and CyberOps covered a class, CCNA covered a class, and ALEKS/ACE credits knocked out all three math class requirements. It's been almost a year now, and hopefully after another trip around the sun, I'll have my degree!

Thank you to everyone for your help in all of this!
