Question about education.

Hello all, I'm getting ready to finish my two year AAS in Network Design and Administration. The next quarter will be my last. However, I have some questions on how I would go about continuing my education. I have looked at the university that is closest to me and they do not offer BS in IT or Networking, just CS which looks like is mainly programming classes for the most part. However, they do however offer a BS in Applied Technology which my degree would transfer to. Though, it doesn't really look like it would be continuing from anything I've learned as part of my 2 year program. I guess my question for this part is if that degree would be considered a Bachelors of Applied Technology in Networking piggybacking off of my AAS.

My second question is about WGU. WGU does offer a BS in Networking and I think that would be more feasible option for me. My questions are if the certs I already have will wave those classes so that I won't have to retake them?

Eager to hear everyone's feedback.
Thanks.

Somewhere on WGU's website, you can find a list of classes for each major. Next to each class, it'll say what certification will waive the class. A+ and CCENT will definitely knock out some classes for you.

If you transfer to your local college for the BS Applied Technologies program and complete it then your degree would: BS Applied Technologies.

Now on your resume you could list both your BS Applied Technology, Local College X and then AAS Network Design and Administration, Community College Y.

WGU has a lot of different IT programs. Here is a link to their BS Network Operations and Security: https://www.wgu.edu/online-it-degrees/network-administration-information-technology-security-bachelors-program.html
