Sure, nearly anywhere. I did a Master's in Educational Technology Leadership through George Washington University, and I did the COSC degree with that concentration specifically to be able to apply for it.

So I wouldn't look for a Masters program in  "General Studies", but a Masters in something close to "Information Systems Studies"?  If I wanted to get a Masters degree in Cybersecurity from WGU, it's hard to imagine  a COSC degree in "General Studies - Information System Studies" would get me in to it.  They would probably want me to at least get the COSC Bachelors in Cybersecurity.  I use Cybersecurity as an example, but it seems like it would apply to any tech niche.  If true, then that leaves me still wondering what Masters degree would be a good extension to a GS/ISS from COSC.

I graduated fifteen years ago, and in that time exactly zero prospective employers or grad schools have cared that it was a concentration in Information Systems Studies rather than a major in it. Biggest non-issue ever, the only people who ever even talk about it are on this forum and the other one. If information security had interested me I'd have felt perfectly confident applying to a Master's program in it with the degree I earned.
BS, Information Systems concentration, Charter Oak State College
MA in Educational Technology Leadership, George Washington University
18 doctoral level semester-hours in Business Administration, Baker College
In progress: EdD in Educational Leadership, Manhattanville College
