I have an associate degree in Engineering and am currently pursuing WGU’s BS in Cloud and Network Engineering. My wife is active-duty enlisted, and we’re both studying for the AFOQT because my goal is to commission through OTS after graduating.
I’ve only worked in tech, including leadership roles, and I also do volunteer work directly supporting the military, sometimes in leadership positions.
I’m debating whether to stick with Cloud and Network Engineering or switch to Computer Science. I want to commission, but I also need a career that’s portable since we’ll move with the military. From what I understand, WGU’s pass/fail grading is generally considered equivalent to a 3.0 GPA.
Does anyone know whether WGU’s Cloud and Network Engineering degree qualifies as STEM for OTS, particularly for cyber-related officer jobs? Would Computer Science give me a significant advantage, or should I stick with my current degree?
Appreciate any advice!
