Pierpont BOG AAS Degree: Some questions

[echo64]

So I've become interested in the Pierpont BOG AAS degree, I've taken a bunch of credits at my local CC and due to some life circumstances I was never able to actually finish getting my associates and my living situation at the moment would make it difficult to commute to school everyday.
Anyway, enough with the sob story.

My questions are, say I submit my credits for evalution to Pierpont and I don't meet enough credits to graduate. Do I have to take courses with Pierpont itself to finish or can I take courses from say Straighterline or CLEP credits and keep transferring those in for evaluation until I do qualify?

Also I've read that this BOG AAS degree is a Terminal Degree but would it be good enough to say transfer into Western Governor's University or one of the Big 3 schools like COSC or TESU? My end goal is one of WGU's IT degree's like the software development program so I'm hoping that I can use the AoS degree to look for some regular day job and then get my BS once I got some more money saved up.

Thanks for any help, I'm really excited about this no Idea you could get your AA degree this way.
