Sorry that I don't have any advice for you. I'm looking to get my Bachelor's in InfoSec, Lewis seems like they have a good program (too bad for me they don't offer the Bachelor's online). Right now I'm looking at Drexel University Online. I was considering Western Governors University, I like that you earn industry certs while working towards your degree, but they didn't have all the classes I'm looking for.
Good Luck Samuel. Does anyone else have any universities they can recommend?
