If you’re thinking about a career in cybersecurity, you’ve probably noticed there’s more than one way to get there.

Many cybersecurity job postings call for a degree, but many employers are also willing to accept candidates with diplomas. The truth is that in the IT world, employers are often more interested in what you can do rather than what credentials you hold.

So if you want to expand your skill set, which educational path should you choose?

Herzing offers both a cybersecurity diploma and a Bachelor of Applied Cybersecurity degree, and which one is right for you depends on your goals, your timeline, and how far you want to take your career.

Here’s a clear look at how the two programs compare.

Herzing’s Bachelor of Applied Cybersecurity takes just 28 months to complete—significantly faster than the typical three-year timeline for an applied bachelor’s degree.

That person isn't just there to sell you a policy. They're the one who helped you choose the right coverage in the first place, and now they're the one helping you get back on track.

So what does that job actually involve? Below, we break down what agents and brokers do day to day, how the two roles differ, and how you can get started in the field.

If you like the idea of a creative career but aren't sure design is “your thing,” you're not alone. It's one of the most common questions people ask before enrolling in any design program.

Graphic design today covers a lot of ground. You could end up designing a brand identity, building a web page, laying out a package, or animating a short video, sometimes all in the same week. That range is part of what makes it appealing, but it also raises a fair question: how do you know if this kind of work is actually a good fit for you?

Medical office administrator (MOA) interviews usually include scenario-based questions about handling patients, protecting privacy, and staying organized under pressure, along with questions about your comfort with scheduling and medical software.

A medical office runs on multitasking. One minute you’re checking in a patient, the next you’re answering the phone or updating a chart.

However, this post focuses on the questions that are unique to medical office administration, since those are the ones that tend to trip up new grads the most.
