I'm wondering how that looks now with changes that have been made and certs accepted. If they allow 75% credits brought in for a bachelors, it's the same for an associate I'm assuming ?
If you are in the US and have citizenship or PR, and you have graded RA credits, I would highly recommend the Pierpont BOG AAS instead of this. The reason is you can get an extremely inexpensive Associates versus this from Purdue. You just need to take a few Sophia.org courses for the general education requirements including Intro to IT and take the Google IT Professional certificate (can be done in less than a month for $49), to get you a BOG AAS for the cost of transcripts!
Thank you for responding. No , I don't have graded RA credits yet. I have looked at the Pierpont AAS just for personal hoorah's but am unclear about the 12 RA credits. I've read only one needs to be graded, but I've not heard of any that aren't graded so that's confusing. I read in one of the threads that the school actually viewed some of the Sophia ACE type credits as RA . I can't find that information now though. I'm in the long rows of preparing for a degree at UMPI, hopefully, and loathe the idea of slogging through 4 more classes to get RA credits when I'll be staring down the barrel to do the 30 cr at UMPI and am trying to get through this Study.com BIO L. ( not loving it ) I am curious about the PUG associate though, mostly so I can pass on the information.
