I am an August graduate of Pierpont.
My transcript lists an "Area of Emphasis" of Information Systems. The diploma does not list the AOE. All of my credits from my Community College came in as I.S. and not Computer Science. You must have 15 credits in a concentration. As long as you can show them the credits in any one area, they will give you the concentration.
Unfortunately, Pierpont is very slow. I kept frequent communication with Ms. Nancy Parks. To the point that I was afraid that I was almost harassing her. She was so nice that she actually filled out my request for graduation, and listed my AOE.
My out of pocket expenses to Pierpont were exactly ZERO. No application. No transcript fees. All credits were transfer. No graduation fees. I almost feel bad. Pierpont did not take one dollar from me. I love their program. Totally worth the wait.

My friend has 30 credits - 15 from CLEP and 15 from a community college. I think this might be an option for her to finish inexpensively.
