Are you a current student @ WGU? I’m leaning towards them or UMUC right now.SSG (Join to see)

I see you are in ROK. I'd recommend you go to one of the Universities that offers on-Post education classes in the degree major you want, Cybersecurity. An important question: in your chosen career field is a BS more valuable than current Certifications? My grandson does computer security for a major company in Chicago. He got the job not because of his Associate Degree, but because he had the certifications they were looking for. He got most of his cyber security certifications on line, not from the local Community College or University. IMO if your goal is a commission or civilian management position after your current commitment is up, then go for the BS. If you want to work as a cyber security tech, then go for the certifications.

Look for reputable public or traditional private college/university. Some for-profit schools may offer cybersecurity program, but are not recognized or respected by outside sector
