BAT Cybersecurity to a Masters later?

This is amazing news, your family is so educational/productive, I wouldn't rush into things and focus on just three for the lad: Certs, Degree, Experience. I mean, there are a few certs that are great for entry into the industry, a few mentioned on the board are the inexpensive ACE Google/IBM certs (even the free cybersecurity ones at TEEX). I would "mix/match" his learning so it doesn't overload the amount of info he gets... such as spreading out the courses/certs so he can complete them in a timely and not in a rushed manner.

Basically any BAAS or BAT is in "applied studies", there shouldn't be many general education courses as these are for prep into a work field. In regards to the Masters, practically any Bachelors will do as long as you have the prerequisite requirements all met. I would focus again on getting the BAT nearly completed before looking ahead. Since you're in Texas, for the Masters, you may want to have the UT-Austin as your first choice, GT as your second, and WGU as a backup or third choice (they all offer CS, Cybersecurity, IT, etc).
