UMPI Work History and Age Policy

[dfrecore]

Many, many schools have policies you or I might not like. The Pierpont BOG AAS program requires that you've been graduated for 2 years. TESU requires you to be 20, or else jump through hoops to get a waiver. WGU IT degrees have hoops to jump through, including either having an AA, 300-level credit in IT courses, having 2 years of IT work experience, or having specific IT certifications.

The reason for this is that they've determined that people that don't meet these particular requirements don't generally do well in their schools/programs. It's not personal against someone, it's that they want students to be successful, and they've figured out what keeps students from being successful in general.

Instead of focusing on a school that won't work for you, just find one that does! There are many options available. There's nothing stopping you from going to another school that is targeted toward your demographic, or doing other things that will help you get through one of the above-mentioned hoops. (Obviously you can't do anything to get older, sorry).
