Well, after about 3 years (Yes, pretty slow haha) I've finally finished my B.S. in IT Sec from WGU and couldn't be happier. I have nothing, but positive things to say about the staff, the school, the quality of the education, and the support that WGU has provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. My mentor has always been there for me and I legitimately feel like he's been a big part of my success.
Here's to bigger and better things! I believe I want to pursue the OSCP next, but have been debating taking a quick week or two to get the CEH first. It seems to be a fairly commonly requested cert for positions that I find interesting and I don't believe it will derail my OSCP studies by longer than a few weeks.
Anyways, just wanted to share my positive experience. If anyone has any questions about the school or the program, I'd be happy to answer!

Congrats! Are you thinking about doing your Masters?
It's very likely that I'll start pursuing a Master's at some point in the future. But, at the moment, I'm just trying to learn as much about pen testing and python scripting as I can. I don't think I'll be signing up for school again at least... for a year or more. Also, if I do go for a Master's I might go back to a brick and mortar.2019 Certification/Degree Goals: AWS CSA Renewal (In Progress), M.S.

Congrats!
I have been wondering what the final assignments were all about at the end. How long did it take you to finish that final project where you design your own network or whatever?
Also, what materials did you use to pass the CCNA Sec class? Did you stick to only using the resources offered by WGU or did you use some outside resources as well?
(and 3yrs...who cares how long it takes! you have your BA, WTG!!)
