RBA Degree at West Virginia University

Can it be used in combination with Pierpont BOG AAS to fulfill the requirement?

Yes, so long as your credits amount to 24 from a combination of WV schools.

So, what that means is Pierpont BOG AAS requires you to do 12 credits (from any RA community college). WVU also requires 24 credits from any WV college or university. If you want to "move" 12 RA credits from Pierpont towards the 24 credits total, those RA credits used for the BOG AAG should come from the cheapest of the WV community colleges and not from TEL Learning/NMJC or any other non WV institution. In other words, you need to take at least 24 credits from a cheap WV college, 12 for the BOG AAS, and 12 more towards the RBA at WVU.

Good summary. But I believe WVU still only requires 6 UL of the 24 WV credits in house. I took only two film courses there.

Thanks,

A little confusing as 12 RA credits are already needed to obtain the BOG AAS, With that completed I assumed that shows I completed a WV community college. Making it eligible for the other program. Guess it doesn't work that way.

That's not how it works, they need to look at where you've taken the courses, not where you transfer the courses to. I used TEL Learning/NMJC as examples above, those are RA credits, but it won't work as they're not from any WV community college. When you submit your transcripts to WVU, it'll indicate those weren't taken at Pierpont. It is an awesome program for those who have some WV community college credits... I would do a cost/energy/time analysis and see if the Big 3 or other competency based degree providers would be a better option.

The WV ROCKS courses are at a reduced tuition. I’d look into those if you have Pell

I'm confused. Why get a liberal arts bachelor's degree when you already have a business administration bachelor's degree and are working on a master's?

No idea for the person you asked, but I'd consider getting a Lib Arts, History, or Psych BA just because of interest


Though I think a grad cert would be cheaper and more fun, so eh
