UMUC or WGU for Masters in Cyber?

I have a dilemma (but a good one). I just started in a new role at a new company, and learned some great things about their training program. They will pay $6000/year towards a graduate degree. Luckily this is what WGU costs per year.
Also, for the first 100 days of my employment, I'm allowed to study for what ever certifications I want. I'm trying to finish of my MCSA, and then start studying for my CEH with a goal of July 1st to pass.
Before arriving here, I've had my heart set on WGU after much talk with them, and reading all the great reviews on this forum. Since it costs $6000/year to attend 2 semesters at WGU, my companies tuition assistance will pretty much cover my entire masters. Seems like an easy choice, but...
My company also has a specific partnership with UMUC for Cyber certificates. UMUC happens to be where I did my undergrad in Information Systems. They will fund a choice of 3 cyber certificates. Upon completion, I'd have the certificate, and also be 3 classes away from a Masters at UMUC. UMUC is very expensive otherwise, around $35k for their Master's in Cyber if paying myself.
WGU on the other hand offers the CEH / CHFI certs with the masters program. I'm thinking to work on CEH now though to shortcut my study time as well as save money on tuition.
I'm torn on which way to go though. Obviously I want to take advantage of free education, but I do want to get this done ASAP.
I feel that the WGU route will help get the Master's done in record time and be cheaper, but may not look as good as a Master's in Cyber security from UMUC. Apparently UMUC is leading the field in Cyber grads right now.
Anyone have comments either way on the cyber programs as offered by either WGU or UMUC? I need to figure this out soon so I can get enrolled.
Thanks

Either way, congrats on finding a job with great benefits. Good luck with the MS.

I personally like brick and motar's with an online option. There are quite a few schools out there that will meet your needs. There are quite a few cyber programs from schools in California alone, off the top of my head CSU San Bernardino, USC (expensive, but sounds awesome curriculum wise), UC Irvine, National University, etc.

I would look at the one's above ^^ the only reason I said DSU (Dakota State University) in my post is because I know it is a brick and mortar school that is near me. I would look into one that is near if you can.
In regards to your question about getting your undergrad and graduate degrees from the same institution no one in the private sector cares. In academia it was an issue, more so when you get your BS, MS, and PhD from the same place, but honestly those days are just about gone. Lots of schools offer 4+1 programs (BS and MS in 5 years) and that has helped remove the stigma that was once associated with it. That all stemmed from the fear that your weren't getting a different perspective when you stayed at the same institution for all your degrees.

Everything I've ever read has pointed to the PhD and DSc as the research related degree that are meant to further the respective field you pursue those degrees in.

The other thing that really bugs me about some of the online based colleges/universities is the title of the degrees that sound ridiculous and long winded. Now there are some that knock the whole online college experience all together, but I think it's becoming more and more accepted.
If cost is your factor, then go with WGU. Personally, I'm going UMUC, and setting myself up for this fall.
I was trying to decide between DSU and WGU when I finally decided on WGU. Another reason was that it included the CEH and CHFI.
I don't think you could go wrong with either school for the cost in my opinion.
My main point is just that when you put a Masters on your resume there will be an expectation on the work you will produce.
