Course Planning and seeking for recommendation

Hi, I'll be starting policy track this fall and I'm looking for some recommendation and feedback.

First, this is my plan:

CORE (6 hours)
CS 6035: Introduction to Information Security
PUBP 6725: Information Security Policies and Strategies

FLEXIBLE CORE (3 hours)
ECE 8813 Introduction to Cyber-Physical Systems Security or ECE 8803 Cybersecurity of Drones

REQUIRED COURSES (12 hours)
INTA 6103: International Security
MGT 6727: Privacy for Professionals
PUBP 8803: Security Incident Response
PUBP 8833: Enterprise Cybersecurity Management

ELECTIVE COURSES (6 hours)
CS 6262: Network Security
CS 6265: Reverse Engineering and Binary

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (5 hours)

I'm aiming to get best out of policy and infosec regardless of the workload.

Therefore... I have 3 questions from those of you that have taken the courses already.

  1. I'm seeking for feedback of my above plan. Any suggestions to remove or replace some of the courses?
  2. What is the best quality course that you would recommend from the program?
  3. I've been studying to take CISSP this October and what are your thoughts for taking PUBP 6725 and PUBP 8833? Do you think it would be beneficial or have synergy?
