Pierpont BOG AAS to UMPI BAS or BLS - Katerinah - 05-17-2023
Hi Everyone!
I just graduated with my AAS through Pierpont. I am ready for my Bachelors but I am undecided. I would like the science degree but I am not sure what route to take. Any suggestions or guidance would be so appreciated as I am so new to this. I would prefer the quickest route. Thank you so much

What do you mean "the science degree"? If you mean the BAS, it's "applied sciences" and a) you're not guaranteed to be admitted to the BAS program and b) even with admission, applied sciences are things like business, not actual science classes.
What are you looking to get out of your degree? What career path are you hoping for? Sometimes, a BAS/BLS are fine, other times not so much.

@Katerinah, Welcome to the board. That's a very good, direct, and short first post, the more info you provide us, the clearer we know what you're looking for... Could you provide us more details and follow this template plus last post addendum here, so we can get a better and complete overview of your scenario: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works
In addition to the info above, the BAS requires permission to get into the program, you need at least 40 technical credits that they accept, not only the credits in the AAS, but many have other additional credits from technical certs, diplomas to gain entry. Do you have some in terms of technical credits from a previous institution you've attended?

@bjcheung77
Thank you for the welcome. I am very new to this whole process and was just looking for what kind of options I have out there. Please forgive me if I don't ask enough questions or weird questions.
I do not have technical credits from other schools. All of my credits come from Sophia which transferred to Pierpont AAS degree. I originally wanted to get into Biology but realize some schools require externships and I cannot do that while working full time plus overtime. What I am looking for is a fast bachelor's degree. I prefer either a healthcare or a business degree. I glanced at the BLS-Management which appeals to me.
I have read through some forums and although some are very helpful, I am still confused about where to begin I suppose.
Thank you

@Katerinah, all the information you need is actually on the WIKI. Just plug in your info into a spreadsheet for reference/tracking purposes and follow what is on these links, you can then save this on google or one drive and paste that as a viewable link (not editable), so we can comment on any changes that may be needed. If you need more info, update this thread with any questions you have in regards to UMPI.
