International Students for Pierpont BOG AAS Program

[rachel83az]

This is amazing news for international students!

While you're not planning on going to UMPI, you can use https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pi...egree_Plan to fill out the general education requirements portion of a Pierpont BOG AAS. But there are other class choices listed at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC

Of particular interest to you will probably be https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pi...f_Emphasis You can see which AoEs are known to be possible for this degree. The easiest AoE to get would be Information Systems via the Google IT Support Professional certificate, but you need to see if another one might work better for you.

Then there is the 1-credit ASU class for $25. That'll be cheaper/easier than getting your ENEB Master evaluated for Pierpont.

Gen eds + AoE + 1 credit class = 31 credits. The remaining 29 or 30 credits can be literally anything from Saylor, Sophia, or Coursera that hasn't already been used in the gen eds & AoE. If you're able to do Coursera certificates quickly, doing two or three certificates may be the cheapest way to fill these remaining credits: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera

You do not have to take any classes at Pierpont itself.

Total estimated costs would be:

Using Saylor:

$130 - Pierpont enrollment fees
$25 - 5 Saylor exams
$25 - 1-credit ASU class
$120 - 2 months of Coursera (may be less, depending on completion speed)
-------
$300 total

Using Sophia:

$130 - Pierpont enrollment fees
$200 - 2 months of Sophia.org to get gen eds + elective credit
$25 - 1-credit ASU class
$59 - 1 month of Coursera for Google IT Support Professional certificate
-------
$414 total

Depending on which AoE you ultimately choose and the speed at which you study, costs may be different. Some AoEs require Study.com classes, for instance.
