Unless work decides to ruin my weekend I'll be there.

@El33tsamurai: I never thought of it in that way.

@chrisj: UMUC's CompSci degree is not so much of a Programming degree. They actully have courses that follow a more traditional CompSci approach.

@chrisj: Thanks for the input regarding the degrees.

Also thanks for the 2-bits on other methods.

Background:
I am a Systems Administrator with 10 years experience. But I want a change... so I'm looking to jump into Infosec, and most likely Pen Testing.

So my question is:
Do you feel/believe/think... a degree in Computer Science or Cybersecurity would server me better?

For those who want to look at the specific programs I'm looking into; here ya go.
CompSci -> http://umuc.edu/programs/undergrad/cmsc
Cybersecurity -> http://umuc.edu/programs/undergrad/csia

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't believe I was a clear as I thought I was. I am looking into advice in regards to a degree only. I have a decent grasp on most of the rest.

Have you looked at University of Maryland University College (www.umuc.edu)?

They offer Computer Science; and unlike many I've found to date they offer "hard" courses; not programming in VB.Net. They also offer a degree in Cybersecurity, and are a NSA ACE institution.

Their classes are soon to be 8 weeks long (starting Fall 2011 I think; can't find email).

{for the lazy:
CompSci -> http://umuc.edu/programs/undergrad/cmsc
Cybersecurity -> http://umuc.edu/programs/undergrad/csia }

I'm a current student. They can be a pain to deal with at times, but so can any college.

I am completely unqualified to state if they are expensive, work pays. However
non residents pay $499/hr + a $13 Tech fee, or $1,536 per class.

Hope this helps.

You can also look into Information Systems Security Association (ISSA).

It is more of a "Professional" org (read CISSP).
