Pierpont---AAS Change

[midnite123]

I was told today that there are changes to the BOG AAS degree.

I was told you now have to take 12 credits at Pierpont.

Anyone hear anything?

Moving this from General Education to Pierpont & other associates degree... Basically, if you didn't follow through with the info two months ago and applied for graduation by Oct 4, it's too late to get the Pierpont BOG AAS for $350. Please review the sticky threads in this sub forum for Pierpont, particularly, the one with the 'Pierpont new residency requirements' sticky thread, I updated a couple or more of those sticky threads first posts as reminders....

The BOG AAS degree was a victim of its own success.  I don't understand why they didn't go to 15 RA credits including just 3 credits from Pierpont.  The Pierpont required course could be West Virginia Government/History with a couple short papers and an online proctored written exam to ensure basic literacy.  There is obviously a big demand for programs to turn assorted credits into real degrees.

Their accreditation is up for review and there are some things they need to work on.
