Degree planning advice, fastest way, need help

[Bikingrox211]

For a Pierpont degree, you need 3 credits in Communications (completed with Visual Communications), 6 credits in Math/Science (Completed with Algebra & Stats), 3 credits in Social Sciences (completed with Psych or History), and 3 credits in Computer Literacy (completed with Introduction to IT). Plus any 45 additional credits for a total of 60. You have more than met these basic requirements.

If you want Info Systems as an AoE, I don't see nearly enough credits for that. You need 15 credits for an emphasis, and I only see Intro to IT and Intro to Web Development as applicable. The fastest/easiest way to complete an Info Systems AoE for most people would be to get the Google IT Support Professional certificate from Coursera: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera Some students with prior experience have been able to complete all requirements in less than a week. Others have been able to do it in less than a month of serious effort.

If you want a BAS from UMPI, you're probably going to need several more Coursera certificates as well. See this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...one-it-yet

Thank you for the reply!

Since my previous post, I completed the following:

Coursera:

1. Google UX Design 
   
2. Google IT Support 
   
3. Google Data Analytics 
   
4. IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations.
   

Sophia:

1. Anatomy & Physiology | Lab SCIE1051 
   
2. Spanish I SPAN1001
   
3. Workplace Communication COMM1010
   

I have about 3 months of idle time now before I am going to be applying to UMPI while I wait for my Pierpont BOG. I am going to read into what BJ said above. If you have any other recommendations, I would love to hear them.

Hey, got your pm... If you have the time, you should review this thread, post #17.  It shows you a sample degree template this member has created.  A minor, 4 classes that goes towards the MAOL.  You should focus on one minor first and the 4 classes that can go into the MAOL, then if you want to spend an extra session on a second or third minor, you can do that afterwards...

Thank you BJ, I will review the degree plan you mentioned and zero in on the 4 classes that go towards the MAOL.
