WGU's MSISA program, should you just do the EC-Council certs before starting...

the program? Or just take it normally as part of your degree? This is me assuming Certs waive requirements in WGU's Masters programs like in their Bachelors.

Do you already have the study material? If so, I would suggest self-studying for the exam but wait until you are enrolled at WGU before taking the exam. Once enrolled you can jump right to the pre-assessment and show your mentor that you are ready for the test.

Doing this will mean you don't have to pay out of pocket for your exam and you knock out a few CUs at the very start of your program.

What, besides time, would you gain from completing the certs beforehand?
