Should I finish my bachelor’s at University of Akron (1 year left) or transfer to WGU and try to finish faster?

I’m trying to make a decision between finishing my current degree at the University of Akron or transferring to Western Governors University (WGU), and I’m hoping to get some honest advice from people who’ve done something similar.

Right now at Akron, I’m about 90% done with my bachelor’s in cybersecurity / IT. I only have 3 networking/CCNA-style courses left, plus a senior capstone project. The issue is that those networking courses are strict prerequisites, so I can’t really speed anything up.

Realistically, if everything goes perfectly (no failed classes, no delays in scheduling), I’m looking at about 1 more year to graduate just for those couple classes.

The alternative I’m considering is transferring to WGU. From what I understand, I’d be able to transfer around ~75% of my credits, which would leave me with roughly 10–15 classes left depending on how they evaluate everything.

My main question is whether it’s actually realistic to finish those remaining WGU courses in about 6 months, given that:

• I already have ~3 years of college coursework completed
• I’m pretty comfortable with IT/cybersecurity concepts
• I would be able to dedicate time to finishing quickly

So I’m basically trying to decide:

• Option 1: Stay at Akron, finish in ~1 year, slower but straightforward path
• Option 2: Transfer to WGU, potentially finish faster (maybe 6 months?), but less certain and more self-paced

Has anyone made a similar switch late in their degree? Was WGU actually faster in practice, or did it still take closer to a year?

I'm also getting married next month and am finishing up my fourth internship in the summer so I'm trying to graduate with all I have but feel like I'm being held hostage in my current situation. No bias just need genuine guidance.

Any advice or real experiences would be appreciated! Thank you all.
