Help planning Criminal Justice degree

@evanmonast - It's not too good to be true!  For the cost of transcripts and a month of Sophia.org courses, in addition to what you currently bring to the table, that's all it is for the Pierpont BOG AAS degree... I also recommend laddering up to a UMPI BA CJ degree, I suggest completing a max of 90 credit transfer into the program if it allows... mainly using Sophia.org at $79/month all you can take courses, two at a time...

Wow. Going to CCRI has been such a painful process over the years because it's hard to commit time to in-person classes while in the military.. It took me like an hour and a half to finish Sophia's psychology course. I think I could bang out 17 more on Sophia in no time. 

If I were to take 7 more courses using sophia I would technically be done with my associates but how would it work with UMPI? I would have to apply to pierpont and transfer all those credits but then I would have to wait until the summer to graduate. Does that mean I would have to wait until after graduation to transfer those credits to UMPI?

I would apply to Pierpont now. It can take them a while to get everything sorted and for your college transcript to be properly entered into the system. Especially with the holidays. By the time you get the "welcome letter" with your account information, you'll probably be done with Sophia and can send that in. If you can really do all of these courses in a weekend, you may well be able to finish everything before you even have access to your Pierpont account!

So if I were to apply to Pierpont right now and finish my remaining 7 courses would I be stuck waiting for the summer graduation at Pierpont before I can transfer anything to UMPI? I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to just forget about Pierpont and go straight to UMPI so I would be able to start my 30 credits at UMPI as soon as I'm done with sophia.
