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.

Visual Diff of the old program vs the new program

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.
