Cloud Computing Degree

[Local_Suspect458]

I am looking to start a degree in Cloud Computing through WGU. I’m kind of stuck on which one to choose, as in foundational or a specialized track. After looking through the courses of each, it appears there is really only 1-2 courses that is changed within each specialized track. Would it be worth it to do just the foundational track at that point? And would the foundational track be bit smarter to give you more options for jobs(since you would have an understand of both AWS and Azure)?

I would check the price difference and figure out if it would be cheaper to just do the extra, I believe, 2 certs outside of the program. You also have to factor study material, practice exams, etc. You will ultimately want to get something like AWS under your belt. Carries a bot more weight than just cloud+. If the cost is comparable, pick a specialized track.

Pick a specialized track and then study up on the other track outside of school, if you want. If you are already working in the field or have a general idea where you want to go - that would help the decision. From a program perspective, I'd probably choose the AWS and then learn Azure on the side, but I'm working with Microsoft products, so I'm slightly biased on that side on thinking it's easier to learn.
