[inkwell]

Your Location: NY, USA
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: Associate's, eventually Bachelor's
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 92

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0

Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: As low as possible
Commitments: Full-time work
Dedicated time to study: Limited

I am looking to get an Associate's Degree from Pierpont while it is still possible. I want to then go on and get a Bachelor's degree slowly. I believe I have most of the credits for the general education requirements, but I wanted to check if I am understanding correctly:

Communications: English Composition I (3 crs)
Social Sciences: Sociology (3 crs)
Computer Literacy: Do not have. Would Sophia Learning be the quickest/easiest/cheapest option for this?
Math/Science: General Astronomy (3 crs). Is Astronomy accepted towards this requirement? Would CSM Learn or a Sophia course be the best choice for the remaining credits?

If I apply tomorrow and start the courses right away, is it feasible to make the October 4 deadline? Any suggestions?

Thanks all!

I mean there's no harm in getting your credits done. If you read back through the last 2-3 weeks of posts, you will see that people are not hearing back from Pierpont. I applied and sent over transcripts last week, was accepted on Thursday, had my transcripts downloaded on Thursday, and I sent them my application for graduation this morning. I have zero hope that I will graduate in December. If I do, it will be great, but I am not anticipating them pushing our stuff through.

Welcome to the board, have you applied? For Pierpont, I would highly advise you to apply for graduation right away, even though they're still in the process of reviewing your transcripts. You've got plenty of credits that are RA, I would also apply to UMPI and decide to finish your degree from them, even a BLS would work for you to max those transfer credits!
