Sophia to Pierpont

[mdn]

What would be the best time to apply for the Pierpont and the BOG degree "before or after I finish 60 credits"

Pierpont C&TC, 2023-2024 Registrar’s Academic Calendar (Summer):
"Summer 2024 Graduation Applications Due: June 7"
So on that date I think you must be fully registered already, and a registration takes some time. At least a week.

Any suggests which courses I can substitute that might help me bypass time consuming or touchstone courses I have listed on my degree plan? I'd like to finish this up by the end of May.
...
3 Credits Conflict Resolution
3 Credits Art History I (1 Touchstone)
3 Credits Human Biology
3 Credits Financial Accounting
3 Credits Introduction to Business
3 Credits Principles of Finance
3 Credits US History I (1 Touchstone)

Change 3 Credits Art History I (1 Touchstone) to Art History II, it still does not require touchstones.
Also Conflict Resolution is really huge and non-standard (2 tries on a question), change it to something else.

FYI - Calculus on Sophia is 4 credits.

I wasn’t sure if Pierpont transfers it in as 4 or 3, so I went with the lesser.

Thank you! Do you know if there are things in Art History 1 I should know before jumping to Art History 2? I don’t want to be blindsided.

Art history 1 and 2 are independent courses. Don’t need one to do the other.

Furthermore, I would focus on the requirements of the degree, not really concerned on the number of credits, as you want to get more credits anyways for use towards the Bachelors later, so going over the 60+ credits is just fine. Focus should be on getting the non touchstone ones completed as it seems just the electives are needed...

[The need 2 learn]

I’m in the final stretch, aiming to finish and submit before the June 7 deadline at Pierpont. I have two questions: First, which order should I take Financial Accounting and Principles of Finance? Second, does anyone have a recommendation for a 3 credit non touchstone course I can replace US History 1 with?

I think the answer to my question is pretty obvious, but I'll ask anyway. If I'm transferring in all the credits I need for the BOG AAS from Sophia plus the 1 RA credit, what am I taking at Pierpont? Anything? I guess this is why there's only the $130 processing fee?

No classes required at Pierpont.

[The need 2 learn]

I’m down to my last two courses. Does anyone have a recommendation for a 3-credit non-touchstone course that I can take in place of US History 1? Also, has anyone heard if Pierpont accepts Lifespan Development from Sophia?

Anatomy and Physiology I and II are pretty manageable and don’t have milestones.

College Readiness and Project Management too.

In the 1 credit courses
IT career exploration has 2 ungraded touchstones
Developing effective teams is super simple
Essentials of managing conflict is also short

Pierpont also accepts foundations of statistics which is 2 credits.
