For the WGU IT major
You avoid taking CompTIA project+ by doing Sopha project management. (I did Sophia's course in one day)
(Project+ is reportedly easier than A+)
AWS Cloud Practitioner can be done in 2-7 days.
ITIL Foundations Cert is reportedly pretty easy.
Finite Mathematics might be tough to do if you are weak in math.
Networks & Network and Security - Applications you have done already.
WGU thoughts
WGU is pretty easy till you hit a hard class or tough cert. Some certs can be done easily in a week while a few can take over a month to study for.
This makes sense and is what I was originally considering but that Project+ has been eluding me for 2 terms now. With the Sophia option, wouldn’t I have to leave WGU for 6 months to do that and transfer it in? Or how would that work?
It's probably not worth it to go through the reenrollment process for a few courses. I'm not sure how long you have to wait before you attempt to enroll again.
You're only 5 courses from being done, that is pretty close though some of those certs are tough.
The CompTIA CySa+ cert isn't an easy one to get.
Checking some of the Reddit posts, they are taking 2-4 weeks to get the cert at best

I would buy those practice tests on Udemy to help study for those types of certs. If you can pass the practice test, then hopefully you can pass the real deal.
