*if you transfer in the certs, it satisfies that course completely. I misspoke on the first couple classes saying you still have to do the paper.

I officially completed the MSCIA at WGU this week. Finished in one term. Just waiting patiently for my Owl.

Really cool video. I only need the CISM to get all certs required to smoke half the degree. And based on your insights the other half can be done in one term. If you take 2-3 weeks per class on those who require only a paper it means that in 2 to 2 and half months you finished 3 classes and have close to 4 months to work on the class with paper and test and the capstone. That is super doable. Thanks for the time taken to provide this information, I'm now really considering going for the CISM with the help of my employer (at least 50% of the cost) and then getting the degree.

Thank you for this video! This information was very helpful.

The image quality of the video was great.

The sound quality was a bit muffled and quite even with maxing my volume.

Please keep making videos :).

How many people here have IT experience in networking, servers, AWS, Azure, Infrastructure design and management, etc.?

[David_USC]

Just what I needed, straight to the point. Good video 👌🏾

[Cooldude]

Nice vid, thanks for the info. On setup I would recommend a pop filter for your mic. Should help smooth out the peaking.

Brother I am doing my Bachelor in Criminology and Police Science. Which is not tech bachelor. But I have a entry level certification of Cybersecurity. Is it possible to get any scholarship in WGU (specially for my condition) ?

[TKKFI]

We want to know about all three of those options hands down

[jasonsmart]

You keep saying for some of these classes you just need to write a paper. Ok but how many pages for each paper? Cause dam I’m not good at bs’ing for 50 pages.🤦🏿‍♂️

How was the MS? I heard mixed reviews about it. I have the BSCIA from WGU

[gerainecomer]

I have a B.S. in psychology and currently making the transition over into tech. Currently enrolled in Google cybersecurity program to learn the basics. Thinking about enrolling in WGU but don’t know if I should get another Bachelors or Masters could any body give me some insight or path recommendations?

Id adjust the lighting
Brighter, and maybe add something to your back round so it’s not just a blank wall? That’s just me
I’d get the lighting to where you don’t have a shadow in the back round and adjust the camera to where I don’t see the corner of the wall

[mattanderson]

Do you think they will take my Network+ from 2001? CompTIA never expires lol.

[Maestro-anon]

Ok so for clarification if you have casp + you get credit for security foundations AND architecture and engineering? It’s listed for both of them

[AYEESLIMM]

I have CCNA and Cisco CyberOps instead of Net+ and CySA+. Can I still transfer those in?

[michaelcalzada]

Hi, was not clear to me from your video if I transfer in CompTIA PenTest+ do I still need to write a paper for D484 Penetration Testing or the 4 credits are granted?

[anthonyserrano]

Would you recommend that I get a bachelors degree from wgu in cs then getting the masters in cyber security from wgu?

[ketoninja]

The gain is a little high on the mic. The topic is spot on though! Thanks

[urfinaj]

Are you able to cover the MIS degree at SNHU?

[mouradali]

I don't understand if you transfer in a cert, do you still have to do the paper to get the course equivalency?
