It's a program/degree specifically to help working adults finish a degree, usually after decades of not having found another way to get a degree.
I've never heard of anyone who hasn't been out of high school doing the Pierpont BOG degree. No one has reported that in any of the Pierpont threads or googling I've done about the program. There's countless options and scholarships for recently graduated high schoolers... many could benefit more from other options, from the scholarships to the 'college experience'/socialization. A few colleges in my state offer first time freshmen free tuition with an average GPA. I couldn't get that as an adult returning student. I wish I was a first time freshmen who graduated within 2 years... so many good options for those, but very few (or none quite like Pierpont BOG) for adult returning students. A teen freshmen could do a lot of Sophia/similar then do Excelsior, TESU, or COSC... but if I was a teen, I would utilize better scholarship opportunities that local colleges offer.
Thanks for responding. I wasn't asking for current high schoolers, but those who perhaps are 18 or 19 and would struggle to get in to a school otherwise. I can just explain the process and they can wait until they're 20. It's fantastic either way.
