Awesome man! You are much more ambitious than I... I waited 6 months to start my MSISA program there. Just keep in mind that it's no longer called the MSISA, it's the MSCIA - Master's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. That is, of course, if you are continuing at WGU. Here is the comparison of the two programs' classes:
MSISA
Current and Emerging Technology
Cyberlaw, Regulations and Compliance
Hacking Countermeasures and Techniques
Cryptography
Ethical Hacking
Vulnerability Assessment
Forensics and Network Intrusion
Security Policies and Standards – Best Practices
Risk Management
Disaster Recovery Planning, Prevention and Response
Information Security and Assurance Capstone Project
MSCIA
Cyberwarfare
Risk Management
Cyberlaw, Regulations, and Compliance
Secure Network Design
Security Policies and Standards - Best Practices
Secure Software Design
Ethical Hacking
Forensics and Network Intrusion
Disaster Recovery Planning, Prevention and Response
Information Security and Assurance Capstone Project
As you can see, there are a few differences. What is nice though, is that the new program still includes the CEH and CHFI certifications. Best of luck! You will see that the TaskStream assignments are MUCH more challenging, but it felt awesome to finally complete everything.Master of Business Administration in Information Technology Management - Western Governors University

Haha, my first job was CompUSA in Pleasanton. I actually grew up in San Lorenzo, but I do live in Lodi now. After living in the Bay Area for 20 years, I had to move to the Central Valley. I've lived in cities from Hilmar to Lodi, and most of the cities in-between for the past 15 years.Master of Business Administration in Information Technology Management - Western Governors University

This is from me and others may feel differently. When I was in boot camp, our company commander forced us to study all the time except sleeping time.
Based on that example, use your time wisely and schedule everything with a purpose to study. Moreover, have a target date to start or complete your classes and you can set this up on your front page of the student portal. As for me, I enrolled one class at a time and have a target date to finish either one, two, or three weeks.
When doing your assignments, use Quizlet to build your library and google to search for whatever and read read read....and read some more. I hope these helps.Congrats! Any advice for someone that's looking to be starting in August?Completed MSCIA f/ WGU~ CISSP 5-days boot camp scheduled -

Thanks for the advice, yellowpad. Were you going in with IT experience or starting fresh while taking the classes?
