Pierpont or UMPI

[rachel83az]

Definitely not an either/or situation. Pierpont is slow, but you can definitely do both! I would guess that you'll get your paper letter in the second week of January. You should be able to almost immediately apply for graduation. This puts your graduation date in May.

Meanwhile, you'll be working on UMPI. All of the courses necessary for your CJ degree will be offered via YourPace. Don't worry about needing to pay non-YourPace tuition. But you'll probably have to do two sessions there. It's just the way of YourPace. (With how fast you're able to go through classes, you might even want to consider adding a second minor to your degree, but that's a separate matter entirely.) If you start in March, that potentially puts you as graduating from UMPI in July. So you'll get your Pierpont degree conferred before UMPI.

I'm not sure what residency requirements, if any, there are for a UMPI AALS. I would assume that there are some. I also presume you'd need to finish at least one session at UMPI first. Start in March, get your UMPI AALS degree conferred in May. I think Pierpont might still be faster by a couple of days.
