Had an excellent conversation with Professor Parks from Pierpont today. A very personable, informative lady. She has evaluated my unoffical Brick and Mortar transcripts and my ACE transcript and I am tentatively ready for August graduation from the Board of Governor's AAS program with a Area of Emphasis in Computer Science.
If any of you are considering pursuing the B.O.G AAS path, I highly recommend it. What a great program. Here are a few answers to the BIG questions that many people have regarding the program.
1) There is no academic residency requirement other than you must have 12 credits from a Community College to enroll. There is no minimum course load that must be taken at Pierpont. Not even the three credits that some other BOG schools require.
2) There is no application fee. There is also no graduation fee.
3) You may read that you need an innoculation record completed. This is generally for people attending the school. They have a 1 semester waiver on it, anyway, and most in the BOG program as transfer students will be out of there within the one semester. And, if you have a personal or religious objection to the innoculations, they can waive that anyway. I am only addressing this, because it has been a concern of some others on the forum.
4) College Algebra is NOT required. You must have 6 credits of Math and Science. Intermediate Math is accepted. If you have 6 credits of science, such as Biology and Chemistry or maybe Anatomy and Physiology, you do not require math. It is an AND\OR situation. 6 credits. Any mix of math and science.
The only drawback that I can see is that if you have no B&M Community College credits to qualify, it could be an obstacle to enrollment.
This program certainly seems great. I am excited for the August graduation, and am rolling on with my BS from TESU.
