seeking degree planning advice in Cybersecurity Bachelors for High School Student

[dfrecore]

As an Ohio resident, I would look at going with Franklin University.  They will take all those credits your son earn in high school, plus they accept ACE (and I think NCCRS although you can't quote me on that).  They also have a 3+1 program with 237 CC's in 30 states - I'm guessing they have one with your son's local CC.

I'm guessing that with the 3 years it will take to earn the credit during high school, he won't be able to get his bachelor's then as well - but he'll certainly be further along than everyone else.  I think if you can have him earn his GE and Free Electives during high school, and take a few of the major courses at the CC, then he could probably finish in a year or so though.

Check to see if your school is here, and if so, get the transfer guide so you take all the right classes: https://www.franklin.edu/transferring-cr...er-schools

UMPI is not an option, as he has to be 20.  WGU is not a great option for someone without much experience; CBE is about time and getting through courses as quickly as possible, while as a newbie, time is what you need to spend on courses where you're actually learning a lot of info for the first time.  We don't generally recommend them for young students at all.
