Pierpont or UMPI

[bjcheung77]

@evanmonast, you have energy/time on your hands, you blasted through so many credits in a few days, I am amazed.  There are so many different ways to play your current credits, it all depends on personal preference on what you want to do.  Since it's a waiting game, it's best to use that energy/time to get more things done while waiting for evaluations.  This is how I would play it out...

1) Complete your remaining Sophia.org, InstantCertCredit and Study.com courses, I would take an extra InstantCertCredit and Study.com course to bump your credits up to 90 from the 84, as you have an extra exam to use for Study.com membership, don't waste it.  The extra InstantCertCredit would be just an extra nominal fee...

2) There is no correlation between the Pierpont and UMPI degrees, you can apply to both and do the required courses at the same time, in fact, get your Pierpont application/transcripts in -  finish what you need as per step #1, then apply to UMPI with all 90 or so credits, you can see what is missing/required and remaining for the BACJ.

3) Pierpont will take months to get you the degree ready for graduation, you may even finish your UMPI BACJ beforehand.  You will need to take at least 2 terms at UMPI as not all courses are offered in the same term.  I suggest getting as many as you can completed for the terms.  Finish off Pierpont ASAP, at UMPI apply for March term wait for acceptance...

4) When you're done with the first 3 steps above, it'll be a waiting game - While you're waiting, you can maximize your learning, you might want to complete some free or cheap credits, certs, etc that is found on the forums or wiki in my signature.  I even suggest doing some Google or TEEX certificates, whatever to keep the brain working.

Note: Another alternative or option you may want to look into, instead of the Pierpont BOG AAS, you may just want to skip it in favor of the UMPI AALS with no emphasis, you get that FREE without the need to send transcripts to Pierpont, as all your transcripts go to UMPI already.  Apply to UMPI BACJ as the main degree, email them after acceptance to add the NON Yourpace AALS as a secondary program.
