Credit sufficiency for Pierpoint BOG Degree w/ AoE in IS

[DEPY]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I meet the requirements to obtain Pierpoint's BOG Degree with an AoE in Information Systems. After obtaining the degree I plan to attend WGU and enrolling in the Accelerated BSIT to MSITM program. Here is what I have so far:

Coursera through TADA:

15 - Google IT Support Professional Certificate
10 - Google UX Design Certificate
9 - Google Cybersecurity Certificate

Local community college (2008):

3 - Sociology
3 - Oral Communication

Sophia:

3 - College Algebra
3 - Critical Thinking
3- Environmental Science
2- Human Biology Lab
4 - Principles of Management
3 - Intro To Relational Databases
3 - Intro To Statistics
3 - Intro To Web Development
3 - U.S. Government
3 - Visual Communications
3 - Intro To Java Programming


Total credits = 73

I also have 3 CompTIA certs, A+, N+, and Sec+ but not sure if Pierpoint would count those. Does anyone know?

I've seen that Introduction To IT on Sophia would suffice for the AoE, but since I already have the Google IT Support Professional Certificate wouldnt that meet the requirement? Or would I still need to take that class?

If there's anything I'm missing or you think I should take on Sophia (with no touchstones) feel free to recommend.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this should be enough. The process takes a while to get enrolled and apply for graduation.

apply now and keep moving towards your other goals, if for any reason you needed another credit or two Nancy would be the one to ask.

but this should get you the BOG

Thank you for your reply. I spoke to Nancy a few days ago. She recommended that I apply for the Summer 2024 term and to submit my transcripts prior to the 15th. The only thing I'm waiting on from Sophia is for my Java Programming assignment to be graded then I will be able to send in my transcript. I'm not sure if this'll all be done in time because I don't know how long the application process takes as I did it this morning (11th).

@DEPY, Great initial post and reply, however, it's missing the addendum and template. We now know you're going the Pierpont BOG AAS, possible Accelerated WGU BSIT & MSITM, but we don't know anything else. From the looks of things, you have the RA credits to get the Pierpont BOG and enough credits, I would just re-confirm you've got the 15 gen eds from the WIKI link. If you do, then the remainder of the credits can be anything, so you can continue working on the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience.

Hello I believe you should have enough for the AoE, but just wanted to add that when I recently transferred the Google IT cert I only got 6cr for it at Pierpont. Im not sure if this was a mistake or it could be that they only give up to a certain amount for certain certs. Just wanted you to be aware just in case.

I just transferred and got the the full credit amount. When did you get the certificate and where from ?

It depends on what you're transferring into Pierpont already, you may have enough Info Systems related classes and there wasn't a need to have more for the AOE.
