Pierpont to UMPI PM+IS Guidance

[csmith11]

I am in the process of getting my BOG AAS from Pierpont w/ Information Systems AOE, and am wondering what I should do to get the most bang for my buck out of the certifications I completed on Coursera; Google: Business intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Project Management.

I have already sent the Google IT Support over to Pierpont to qualify for the AOE. I’m wondering if I should send the rest over to them even though it will not count towards the degree or wait until a BA or BS program. If I were to wait to transfer the rest what school would these certificates be the most beneficial?

Send your Credly transcript and they will take all those ACE credits. Would recommend filling out the template and addendum to get better answers on your next school question: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

@csmith11, Welcome to the board, great initial post with some info. I also recommend providing the extra details within the addendum and template linked earlier. In addition to that thread you were linked to... You may also review the UMPI BAS sticky thread as there is a WIKI plan already in place for people going from Pierpont BOG AAS to the UMPI BAS as a great ladder or transition degree to take the 60 credits for your electives (yes, the Google certs you mentioned).

I think I am on the right track now but i would like to get some feedback or help with my UMPI PM+IS Degree plan. 
Right now Im waiting on Pierpont for the BOG AAS: Information Systems and finishing up a few more Sophia & Straighterline Courses. UMPI Degree Plan 
This looks like my best option to finally obtaining my Bachelors to me. Would it be worth it to do a Dual Bachelors or just wait for the MAOL. 

Thanks

Basically, you want to apply and send it all at once as per the dates for Fall 2 Term, I would make sure all have been completed (app, doc, confirmation) BEFORE the application deadline as you don't want to fall through the cracks as some have, use the other dates as reference, such as completing the registration/tuition BEFORE or ON the confirmation date, you want to be 'two weeks' ahead just in case something happens...

TERM Fall 2
APP DEADLINE 09/20/24
DOCUMENT DEADLINE 09/27/24
CONFIRMATION DEADLINE 10/04/24
REGISTRATION DEADLINE 10/22/24
TUITION DEADLINE 10/24/24
START DATE 10/28/24
CLASS END DATE 12/20/24
TERM LENGTH 8 weeks

Decide on the degree and the session you want to start... You may want to go the BAS MIS & PM minor, or continue with the BABA PM & IS concentration. Here's the thread I copy/pasted the info from: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...on-to-MOAL

[csmith11]

I have sent over all of my transcripts to Pierpont for the BOG AAS, they have evaluated my ACE credits but not the transcripts I sent in from previous schools (Its been 4 weeks). I decided to go with the BABA - Project Management + Information Systems and not the BAS degree. My question is is there any benefit to waiting for the Pierpont degree to be awarded or should I just start the process with applying to UMPI? 
Thanks !

[bjcheung77]

Follow the post I last have entered, just change the 'date' to Fall 1 instead of Fall 2 session...
That's all there is to it as it won't really matter when you receive your Pierpont evaluation...

Since you're going for the BABA, the Pierpont degree won't matter. If you wanted the BAS, then it would matter. Apply for UMPI today!
