CISSP - can I use university degree as proof of work in domains?

Hi,

 

Hopefully posting in the right place. I'm looking into working towards the CISSP and can see it requires a minimum of five years in two or more domains. It also mentions a four year degree can be used to contribute to one of those years.

 

I've worked as an IAM engineer for around 7~ years which will definitely cover the IAM domain and I think probably parts of others. I also studied computer forensics and network security for my university degree which I think would cover parts of various domains too - am I right in thinking I can use my degree experience as proof of experience in domains other than IAM?

 

Thanks in advance!

No, For CISSP experience has to be in the form of paid work experience(unpaid Internship counts too) in one of the eight domains.

A qualifying degree counts as a year of experience, but no more.
