- College Algebra
-English Composition I
- Human Biology
- Human Biology Lab
- Introduction to Business
- Introduction to Information Technology
- Introduction to Statistics
- Macroeconomics
- Project Management
- Visual Communications

Thank you!

As jg_nuy has already pointed out, this isn't an AOE that can be obtained solely through Sophia credits. I'm not even sure if it's a possible AOE with Study.com. You'll need to contact Nancy Parks to figure out what actually works and what doesn't. To do that, you'll need to be an enrolled student - if you aren't already.

Hi all. I'm now an American citizen, and I live in the USA but I did High School in another country and my degree is in Spanish. For Pierpont, do I need to have my diploma translated and if so, by anyone specifically? Do I need to have it notarized/legalized by someone? And do I also need the High School transcripts?

Also, can I apply to Pierpont and see what I'm missing and then add more classes as I complete them or once I submit some credits, that's it like at WGU?

Thank you!

If you transfer in a sufficient number of credits (I'm not sure how many, exactly; 30? 15? 45?), the HS diploma requirement at Pierpont is waived. If you're going to go to another school after Pierpont, you may need to have your diploma translated and evaluated, but you don't need to do so for Pierpont.

What have you already completed? You can apply to Pierpont now, yes, but if you don't have the minimum transfer requirement, it might get a little complicated. We can give you a good idea regarding what you're missing faster than Pierpont can, though.

I have almost completed Workplace Writing II and Introduction to Relational Databases (I'm working towards a WGU BS in IT)

CompTIA:

IT Fundamentals
A+
Sec+
Linux+
Cloud+

I'm also almost finished with the Google UX Design Certificate

Thank you!

[rachel83az]

The CompTIA certificates aren't directly worth credits. Pierpont might accept them for credits, but I wouldn't rely on it. (If they do count for credits, please let us know how which ones and how much, please!)

The Google UX certificate course is 10 credits.

You currently have 28 Sophia credits, plus the 6 more you're working on: 38 "guaranteed" total credits right now.

3 communications credits: done
6 math/science credits: done
3 social science credits: done
3 computer literacy credits: done

Most basic degree requirements are out of the way, except the number of credits.

You still need graded credit, so take the ASU 1-credit class to bring your total to 39 credits. This leaves you with 21 credits from any source. Because you're going after the BS in IT, you might want a different AOE than Info Systems. This would differentiate it from your Bachelor's degree and possibly add more keywords to your resume. You could take a couple of ACTFL exams to get 15+ credits in Spanish and get an AOE in Spanish. Or it should be relatively easy to get a Business Administration AOE using Sophia and maybe Coursera.

You're missing an RA credit that's graded, make sure to take that course at ASU for just $25 plus transcript, complete the rest of your Coursera/TADA offerings and Sophia.org classes you want to take and transfer them all in to Pierpont, you can follow the WIKI if needed...
