Is there any degree that any school offers that covers IT security and project management. So basically I am looking for something that covers CISSP and PMP kind of knowledge. I assumed it would be more valuable to have a degree versus certification. I saw WGU offers online program in Information security and quality assurance. but now sure if doing online is worth doing it. I live in GA so dont have many school options. please guide.
Thanks!

UMUC might fit the bill. They began as an offshoot of University of Maryland with a focus towards active duty Military personnel and as such are very well respected around Maryland/DC/Virginia/Fed Gov and so on.

You're unlikely to ever find a reasonable CS program that contains concentrations related to IT security and management. You'll find a concentrations in cryptography which is much more mathematical than IT security.

You'll likely be better off looking at IT and IS/IM programs for the areas of study that you are looking for.
