I am looking to apply and go to college for cybersecurity, and was wondering if online courses from sites like Cybrary or Sans Cyber Aces matter. I have completed a few courses already and plan on doing more. The courses are only less than 12 hours a piece, so they are not traditional days or month long school/ college courses. I was wondering whether I could put these on my college applications and if I could whether they would make a difference in the selection process or not. All responses and help is appreciated!
No
It sounds like these courses are an EC. Fine to mention as an activity.
Yes, I’d add them under EC’s/Activities. The impact on admissions will be quite minor.
