Helping My Brother Work Toward Associates

[dfrecore]

My suggestion is: if he can get by with just an AAS (different than an AA or AS, so some employers may be picky and he'll want to know in advance): Pierpont
If he needs an AA, then COSC.

Either way, he'll need 12cr of RA, in which case I suggest TEL Learning. $67/cr, self-paced. Choose things he's good at or interested in for those - like if he's good at math, that's going to be something he won't need to write papers for.

COSC has a cornerstone but no capstone - he WILL have to write a paper. But I've heard it's very manageable.

Either way, he can take Sophia for his GE, and then I'd suggest Study.com for the Hospitality courses (they have 5, and I think 3 require a paper/project).

If you opt for Pierpont, I think they'll take NCCRS credit (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If you can, then Coopersmith has 9 additional Culinary/Hospitality/Special Events Planning courses. OnlineDegree.com also has a Culinary course that's very cheap.

With Pierpont, you can also choose a concentration which is nice.
