Schmidtw,
Thank you for your quick answer. I’ve chosen to stick with Information Systems Security. Network+, CCNA, and CCNP can always be “tacked” on after the degree. Thanks.

I agree. The network side of things is often misunderstood and is a worrisome source of being able to exploit hosts. Next in line would be programming and understanding bugs/vulnerabilities.

The degree you get is only as good as what you put into it. I have a technical degree and strongly believe it helps me in my day to day work. Others would disagree.
A degree helps but it’s not everything as I talk about in this articleWill a degree or certification help enhance your IT career? and in this audio program Certifications, Degrees, or Experience - What’s Best for Your Security Career?.
Best of luck!
