WGU Overhauls their Cybersecurity Bachelor’s Degree Program! (Study.com Savings!)
Western Governors University (WGU) recently revamped their Bachelor’s degree program in Cybersecurity, and in this blog post, we’ll go over the changes that have been made, how it’s different from the old program, and how you can complete this degree in a cost-efficient manner.
Firstly, let’s look at the changes made to the program. There’s been an update in the course titles and some courses removed, while others have been added. One notable addition is Python and Linux foundations, which makes sense for a cybersecurity program. They also added a Health, Fitness, and Wellness course and changed the Communications course.
In terms of study.com, which is an educational organization where you can take classes and transfer them into WGU, there has been a reduction in the number of classes you can transfer in from the old program, but the new program has more relevant classes, making it better in general.
Now, let’s get into the cost-efficient ways of completing this degree. Using study.com, you can potentially save a lot of time and money since their credits are way cheaper than WGU credits. Assuming you take 15 courses from study.com, which is what the new program offers, and with the discount code, it’ll cost around $140 per month for the first three months, which is a significant saving of $60. If you take two courses a month from study.com, it’ll take you about eight months, and the total expenditure will be $1,420. If you take the remaining courses from WGU, it’ll cost approximately $9,300, which is relatively cost-efficient.
If you’re in a hurry to finish your degree, you can also complete it in under $6,000 or $10,000. For instance, if you’re looking to complete your degree in under $6,000, you can take advantage of the study.com discount code and complete 10 courses for $840. For the remaining five courses, you can take a term at WGU, which will cost you around $3,700, making the total cost $4,540. If you’re willing to go super fast and complete your degree in under $10,000, you can take 15 courses from study.com, which will cost you $1,420. For the remaining courses, you can take two terms at WGU, which will cost you approximately $6,300, bringing the total cost to $7,720.
In conclusion, the revamped Bachelor’s degree program in Cybersecurity from WGU has some notable additions and changes. If you’re looking for a cost-efficient way to complete your degree, you can take advantage of study.com, which offers a significant saving, especially if you use their discount code. Whether you’re looking to complete your degree at a regular or faster pace, it’s possible to complete it under $10,000.
