Hopefully, this will be a good exercise for a template for something else when/if my son gets the Pierpont AAS degree.
Other than creating more working figuring out transferring to UMPI or another university, if my son's end goal is a Bachelor's degree, what is the utility of getting an Associates along the way unless it makes it easier to transfer into UMPI? I keep coming back to this question. I have attached the first attempt at a degree plan and attached it. If he does Business area of specialty for the Pierpont AAS BOG program, it looks like he would need 24 credit hours?
Please let me know what additional credits he could use for electives or what he would already have credit for?
Thanks,

Most people create their own template because they already have a bunch of courses from somewhere. They also set up the template so that they understand it. Lots of people don't keep them once they graduate. When I attended UMPI I didn't have a template that would have made any sense to anyone else. What works for Pierpont doesn't necessarily mean it works for UMPI so if UMPI is the actual goal, I'd focus on UMPI. An associate degree has no bearing on transfer to UMPI. It doesn't waive anyone from the GEC or any course at all.
