Need advice in putting together degree plan for my wife (and me)

[dfrecore]

TESU's Cybersecurity degree is too expensive - I would recommend WGU.  I am including my degree plan for it.  There are plenty of courses she CAN transfer in, and she would want to get those in before enrolling at WGU - once you enroll there, no more transfers in.  I wouldn't even contact them until she's completed everything on the list possible, because they can be a little aggressive with trying to enroll people.

Also, once you're ready, go on and look at their website - and a $65 off coupon should pop up.  I think you can also come on here and ask for someone to give you a code (an alumni).

I put everything at around $100 per course, but if you use CLEP/ModernStates.org first, those courses will be free (make sure she does English Comp with Essay if she wants it to count for English I & II).  Then do Saylor, those will be $25/exam (course is free).  Then, sign up for Study.com or SL and do those courses.  If you're going to do SL, try to do 4 of them, you'll get another $200 off.  But I might still use Study.com anyway.

Also, if you use Study.com for anything, make sure you go through and do the non-credit-bearing computer science courses that might be helpful before starting.  You won't get credit, but you will get knowledge, and that would be helpful in doing your courses.

At this point, you're done with 33cr of Gen Ed's, and 25cr of IT/Core.  Then, you apply to WGU, send all of your transcripts, and enroll.

Yes, you will have 16 courses to complete in 6 months.  Worse comes to worst, it takes 2 terms instead of 1.  Plan for that, and then if you can do it in 1 term, you'll be pleasantly surprised and save some money.

Good luck!
