The goal is to make it a "de facto" A.S. Cyber Security degree even though it is an ASGS that I can hopefully use for an BS Information Technology from WGU, or at least knock out enough credit to make getting the missing credit fairly easy.
Next will come Generals, where I'm planning to mostly use Davar, The Institutes for Ethics, a handful of Onlinedegree.com, and Study.com for Biology Lab (unless I don't HAVE to do a lab). For math I'm taking statistics, planning on Khan Academy and Saylor's test. I'm mostly going for speed and/or time commitment, but cost is a fair concern. Is the above plan a good mix of the two, or would SL or SD be recommended even though there is a higher price cost? Is online degree more time consuming despite the cheap cost?
Thank ahead everyone, you guys have made my life SO much easier.
P.S. by "de facto" Cyber Security degree, this is how I would put it on my resume:
Associate of General Study Charter Oak State College
Cyber Security, Security Administration, Computer Forensics
• A.S. Cybersecurity equivalent ASGS
• Network & Computer Security, Computer Forensics, Ethical Hacking, Cyber Law (TEEX)
• Linux, Windows, Networking Configuration & Administration (Google IT Support Cert.)
• Web & Software development: Java, C++, C#, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS (Comp Sci II + MTA certs)
Sounds like you should look at Ashworth College or Penn Foster College.
Both will accept ACE credits; Ashworth will also accept at least some NCCRS credits (they have a matriculation agreement with Onlinedegree.com).
Both schools are NA, so you need to decide if they'll meet your current needs; however, if you find yourself needing an RA Bachelor's in the future, WGU will accept credits from both schools - just be mindful of the NCCRS credits you're using.
