Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was searching through the forum and found discussions with the differences between the BS concentrations for WGU but I had some questions regarding their MS programs: M.S. Information Security and Assurance and M.S. Information Technology—Network Management.
A guy I work with did the the Security concentrated and loved it, he even has his CeHS and CHFI hanging up in his office. I was looking through their website and noticed they have three certs listed for the MS Security one (CeHS, CHFI, and CCENT) but none for the IT/NM concentration. So does this concentration not offer any type of certifications with this?

That is correct. I think the name is a bit misleading, as it focuses (from the course list) much more on the management side, than the network side.Working on: staying alive and staying employed -

I would believe that. Depends on what your end goal is, mgmt. vs technician as to which would be more enjoyable/beneficial to you.Working on: staying alive and staying employed
