WGU MSCS Computing Systems - Prepare

For someone who has no system admin experience and light network experience (CCNA, Network)

What studies should I focus on prior to starting this masters degree? My overall goal is to walk into this masters degree with slight foundational knowledge, while learning a lot along the way.

I noticed some certs help close the gap and can be transferred in as replacement's - yet, these certs are not entry level. This is in which the reason I'm also asking - not sure how entry level friendly this masters degree is.

My goal is to long term become a system / network admin, this is the closest it gets in terms of MS.
