@nyc0603, Welcome to the board, that's a good addendum, template, and initial post with detailed info! I highly suggest applying to Pierpont as you should have all the requirements to get the Pierpont BOG AAS with Info System emphasis. You can ladder that to the UMPI BAS MIS minor or another minor of your choice, you can also add the 3-4 classes that can go towards the UMPI MAOL afterwards to hit the residency requirements and be 3 classes closer to completing the Masters. All in all, you're doing a great job in getting the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience...
