I’m 30, haven’t gone to college for over a decade, was running a business during high school and a bit after high school, maybe 2.0 GPA in high school (still waiting to get a transcript)
I want to major in CS with an emphasis on Cybersecurity or programming (specifically C, assembly, networks)
thanks!
A 2.0 HS GPA may be rather limiting on what four year colleges will admit you.
You may want to consider whether starting at community college and doing better there than in high school would give you more options as a transfer student that you have as a frosh with a 2.0 HS GPA.
I have found University of Maryland, B.S. in Software Development and Cybersecurity
They only require that I graduate high school. I will find out more information when they contact me on Monday (tomorrow).
University of Maryland University College***
I was admitted into University of Maryland University College. Anybody have any resources, websites, or knowledge what colleges/universities I can transfer into at a later time? 2 to 2-1/2 years in, perhaps, as I am wanting to get into a different/better (biased/subjective towards C programming especially) Computer Science degree program somewhere else. I’m going to take 9 credits per semester. They’re relatively inexpensive – approximately $12,000 per year / 3 semesters / 9 credits per semester. Also, their program is geared towards mainly Java/C++/Graphics (think NASA, NVIDIA type of the careers).
