I'm currently enrolled at WGU for my BS, pending my credit eval. With the number of transfer hours, the degree should come fairly fast. *crosses fingers* With that said, I'm wanting to start planning for my masters. Are they any of these schools that give credit for cissp/mcse/ccnp certs? Does anyone have list of these and a price break down per school. Was looking for more information on NSA/Homland Security Sponsored Degree Programs. Additionally, I'm currently a contractor for the Navy, does anyone know if this was keep me from applying for the DOD scholarship that requires you to work for them for 3 years post graduation. **They have a lil tag that says existing DOD employees can't apply.** Has anyone taken advantage of this? What GS/Paygrade job would you be looking at post graduation?
Capitol College offers a Master of Science in Information Assurance degree. "The NSA and DHS have designated Capitol College as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education." - web site excerpt
Are they any of these schools that give credit for cissp/mcse/ccnp certs? Well, Capella does, but I wouldn't consider them a good option. Additionally, it seems they have been removed from the NSA site. Hmm. Does anyone have list of these and a price break down per school. No. Go to the NSA schools list and outline the school you like. Figure out your needs -- online or whatever. Contact the schools or search their sites. It is all there. The only school I had to contact was Boston U. Their program is managed by a company, not the U. Their CIS / Security masters wasn't my cup of tea. Additionally, I'm currently a contractor for the Navy, does anyone know if this was keep me from applying for the DOD scholarship that requires you to work for them for 3 years post graduation. **They have a lil tag that says existing DOD employees can't apply.** You have to contact each school individually. Not all schools have the same scholarship structure. Some offer stipends as well as paying for school. Sounds like you might have to quit DOD to be eligible. Has anyone taken advantage of this? What GS/Paygrade job would you be looking at post graduation? I do not remember the GS rating, however it is all available online.
