found that he could get an online IT degree, and a bachelors or master in IT security, if he wants to.
I also found that WGU, Western Governors University, is extremely affordable and offers financial aid as well.
Basic tuition for most of their programs is just $2,890 per six-month term.
They charge a flat every 6 months so that you're paying for the time, not the credit hours.
WGU is also a non-profit, and generally more affordable than other online universities, and it's a fully accredited online university too.
It's another option for Mark, I just keep looking because there will be one that he wants to go to, he will make up his mind eventually.
He's accepted the way his life is, now he just needs to make up his mind how he wants to proceed and what he wants to do with the rest of his life.






WGU is the real deal. They have instructors who have worked in the field and are trained in the nuances of distance learning. It doesn't do a ton of marketing or advertising but it does have a good reputation as an online educational institution. It would be a good place to start and your financial aid dollar will go further at a nonprofit like WGU.
