Interesting, the hardest course to transfer in would be this:
D489 Cybersecurity Management 4
Can be met with ISACA CISM Certification.

bjcheung77, how much will be the investment to get these certificates that can betransfered?  I want to  start a cyber security master degree program.

If you're not in the US, you can't do this degree. WGU doesn't allow students who aren't US residents. 

That said, it looks like this certificate is about $600/$800 and requires a significant amount of study time. Also, according to this link https://www.csoonline.com/article/358740...-cost.html it's not as simple as passing the exam and you get your certificate.

Quote:In order to be CISM certified, you need to fulfill two requirements:
  • You need to pass the CISM exam, and
  • You need to demonstrate a minimum required amount of work experience

To meet that second requirement, you need five years of experience in information security within the decade before you apply for the certification, with three years of management experience in three or more of the core areas we listed above, which ISACA refers to as job practice areas. There is some wiggle room here: Certain lower-level certs can stand in for years of experience, and time spent teaching infosec at the university level can substitute as well. But clearly, this is not a certification for newbies: you need to have been around the block a while, and have worked in management for some time as well.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210
