BOG AAS at West Virginia University at Parkersburg

[videogamesrock]

It looks like they are in the process of posting my evaluation. My DEAC credits were not accepted, but all of my ACE credits were. I was told that I can have as many AoE as I like as long as the courses that I use fit into the program with extreme flexibility. Each AoE requires 15 credits for completion. So here is my proposal on AoE and maybe I can get some feedback before I submit my AoE to WVUP. My classes I've taken are in my signature under unofficial transcript.

Computer Science or Computer Information Systems or Technology - Any suggestions?

Hey, just wondering why you decided on this program over one of the Big 3?
From looking at the info, you can do a portfolio seeking credits from your NA courses.
It's $300 regardless of amount of credits + $10/credit awarded.
You may get all the credits you were provided by an NA school.

One night I decided to enroll at Ashworth after I completed all of my classes with 8 weeks to go at Rio Salado. I figured for the price of cancelling cable this would be more fun for me. The Ashworth tuition is about $83 a credit and testing out per class is only $20 per 3 credit test. Since the tests were only $20 I figured I should give it a shot. I wound up passing 10 courses by exam.

After one semester taking business courses and testing out on the Ashworth courses I realized that I can't stand business classes. The topics are so boring to me and I find it hard to focus on the material. That being said, I'll finish my final five courses there rather than repeating the material and graduating with either the Management and/or the BSBA. The tests are 24 hours long and open book so it shouldn't be as challenging as the 16 week business courses I took at my CC (yawn).

RA/NA doesn't bother me at all.

The BOG AAS interested me because of the ability to have as many AoE as possible which are self created. It's just a one course residency giving me the most for my money. I'm not sure if they will allow me to have all 6 AoE but I'll give it a shot.

I have considered the Big 3. Mainly Excelsior for the BSLA with a Focus in Foreign Language or even Athabasca University. But I'm still exploring areas of study that may interest me. In the fall I plan on taking some homeland security courses. I took a MOOC on terrorism which I found very interesting and the material was easy to understand.

I am in no rush to graduate and I would just like to enjoy the process and pick up as many trophies as possible along the way. The goal is 3 Associate degrees this year and maybe 3 BS degrees next year. Followed by a graduate degree at AMU by 2018ish.

The Big 3 are all excellent. West Virginia University at Parkersburg is a real B&M school.:patriot:

NA vs RA doesn't mean much to me either, as I studied at CIE/WC before they lost their DETC accreditation.
Before that, I went to a small local college/institute but they went under and closed. This was a little over a decade ago.
I was on the sister forum and a thread reminded me of this school as it was expensive and pretty useless for me!
Perhaps worse off attending college…

I applaud you on your educational goals, I like the thought of obtaining Associates degrees enroute to your Bachelors.
I am wanting to do a TESU Bachelors and move onto two Masters by next year. I might as well go for Associates too.

I just noticed you did every course for ALEKS, it's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would...haha...
But it's been a good ride, I took the other courses in my signature as a breather for too much Math overload.

Yuck math! I hired a tutor to help me master the exams. I hope I never have to take another math course again lol.

My daughter hired a math tutor and she just get an A in college calculus.cheersmate I hope you also do well.:patriot:

Hmm, I am thinking that ALEKS is "tutoring" me by making me go through so many hoops after I make a mistake.
It is "teaching" me big time, :p .... I think I'll be OK after getting through this, it's the concepts i'm not grasping.
Worst comes to worst, I'll get a tutor as well... It needs to be explained, but ALEKS has the "explain" button; I like it!
