WGU Degree comparison chart

I am starting the enrollment process with WGU and I have constantly been back and forth on deciding my major. From what I have seen around here, I am not alone in this.
So, if you are like me and need help choosing between Security, Network Admin or Network Design & Management, I have put together a spreadsheet outlining the differences between the three.
Yellow = Required across all degree plans
Blue = Unique to that degree plan
Hopefully this helps with your decisions.

I think I am going to take advantage of the free Dreamspark MS voucher before I start my first term to get an early start and cut down on my cost a bit.

Interesting. So, regardless of degree plan, they all just say "Information Technology"? Does the same apply for the Masters degrees?
MS: Information Security & Assurance
Start Date: December 2013
I dropped Security to go to the Network Administration (since it picked up the CCENT) and using the dreamsparks voucher for 643. I'll work on finishing my CCNA and possible the CCNA:Security after that.
No.
It's common at most universities for the specialty to not be noted.

I'm not sure about your last question if you mean that you passed a class in one program that is not needed for the other you are SOL. If you are asking about dual degrees I'm 85% sure that's not possible.
Not dual degrees, 2 separate degrees at two separate times. Complete degree A, and then next term take classes for degree B. Because there are so few classes that separate some of these degrees, couldn't you easily get degree B once you have completed degree A?
I had a the idea of taking some Security courses after finishing Software. My idea was to get some preparation before trying the MS in InfoSec.
My mentor said absolutely not, no way. She is usually very flexible about things, so either she misunderstand what I wanted or they do not allow it.
Students wishing to matriculate into a WGU baccalaureate degree program, who already hold an associate or baccalaureate degree from a regionally, nationally or U.S. Department of Education recognized accredited institution, may only do so if the WGU degree will require a minimum of 30 CUs;
If the classes equal 30 CU then I guess you could spend money on another term or two.
thanks for the spreadsheet twill713 but its already behind as well.
