WGU introduction:
Online Accredited College (IT w/cs, Healthcare, Education, Business)
Accredited with Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (other state/privates)
Go over WGU model, and cost per term
How to pass classes (exam, vs paper, vs both)
Go into the degree (MSCSIA)
Composed of 9 classes (show all the classes)
I'll go through all of these classes 1 by 1 and explain about them relatively quickly and how applicable they have been to my at the end, I'll give an overall score
As I'm going through this list, bear in mind that WGU provides the necessary study materials you need to pass each class as well as dedicated course instructors

1. C725 - Information Security and Assurance (Exam)
A lot of really general Cybersecurity Knowledge
Most all of this is relevant, would expect someone in the field to know 90% of this
Some compliance questions (SOX, GLBA, HIPAA)
Control Type questions (detect, prevent, correct, etc.)
Roles and responsibilities
Very similar to Security+ mixed in with a watered down version of CISSP. So if you have CISSP, this exam will be much easier
2. C706 - Secure Software Design (Exam)
I haven't officially worked as a SWE, though I've done a lot
Very relevant, covers Secure development lifecycle
Covers a lot of OWASP Top 10 concepts
Race conditions
This exam seems to be heavily based on the CISSP domain "Software Development Security", so if you have CISSP, this class will be much easier
3. C726 - Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering (Paper x2)
First Paper: The class gives you a case study/scenario of an organization that has a bunch of out of date infrastructure and you have to come up with a proposal to fix everything.
There will be a bunch of diagrams and tables involved.
This class is super, super relevant to real life. I've done this many times as a reviewer
Second Paper: You have to do a risk assessment on your solution using the DREAD model. Again, very very realistic and relevant to the real world.
4. C702 - Forensics and Network Intrusion (Exam)
Some relevant security tools (FTK Imager, for ex)
Relevant laws
Chain of custody
A lot of steganography
This exam was based on ECC's CHFI
Relevance: Good to know, but very niche. I had interview questions about this for my security engineering job
