WGU - BS: CSIA (8/01/2017) Progress Thread

Hello all,

I just wanted to create this thread to track the progress of my WGU program starting on 8/01 for my B.S. in their new Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program.

Just completed the orientation modules today and am awaiting a mentor to unlock the PA for it. This may be due to a mentor not being assigned to me yet, but according to my enrollment counselor, I should have one assigned some time this week.

I am transferring in 48 CU's from a combination of certifications and some previous college work.

Here are the courses that I have remaining:

C182 - Introduction to IT - Completed 8/8/17
C168 - Critical Thinking & Logic
C768 - Technical Communcations
C683 - Natural Science Lab
C779 - Web Development Foundations
C173 - Scripting and Progamming Foundations
C175 - Data Management Foundations
C170 - Data Management Applications
C846 - Business of IT Applications
C836 - Fundamentals of Information Security
C845 - Information Systems Security
C839 - Introduction to Cryptography
C837 - Managing Web Security
C838 - Managing Cloud Security
C840 - Digital Forensics in Cybersecurity
C841 - Legal Issues in Information Security
C842 - Cyber Defense and Countermeasures
C843 - Managing Information Security
C844 - Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity
IT Capstone Written Project

Excited to see how much I can get done this term and tracking my progress throughout this next term! To everyone else starting on 8/01, I wish you the best of luck!

Enrolled in the BS:CIA and starting on 8/1, too! I knocked out the orientation today and spent some time working through some of my coursework to get a feel for everything. I was able to bring in 62 credits from prior work and certifications and I'm hoping to knock out the remaining credits in one term.

I am also starting my BS:CIA on 08/01... hopefully... just awaiting my financial aid award letter to ensure it is covered (has to be done by the end of this week). My enrollment counselor said at the time I was admitted there were only 10 spots left for this degree plan for August, so sounds like I barely made in. Unlike you two, I am starting in with only 14CUs transferred (English comp I, Intro to Geography, and the two A+ courses). So I will be essentially starting from scratch and learning it all as I go along.

In addition to that, my wife is also interested in IT but doesn't want to continue school just yet. She's going to take her A+ soon, then she wants to follow me in obtaining other certifications like N+ and S+; I'll be supplementing her with learning material for it while I take the relevant courses. I may come back here to share progress since it appears I am the first one on these forums to be taking this degree plan with such little experience/transfer credits.

welcome to the party... I am currently working on BS ITSEC, but will be transitioning to the CSIA as soon as WGU opens it for current students... which will be Jan most likely for me... fortunately, there are some course overlap so I wont be wasting this semester
