Pierpont Associates (AAS) and UMPI Bachelor's degree Excel template

@ss20ts

Thank you for the insight and advice. I think that while the Pierpont BOG AAS degree is a nice credential, for my son's purpose, the end goal is a Bachelor's degree ideally in something Business related. With that said, I think adding the Pierpont BOG just makes it more confusing. 

I have already downloaded Ashkir's UMPI degree plan and also developed an Excel plan from scratch utilizing some of the other members advice. We have scheduled a session for my son tomorrow at 3 PM to at least speak with a UMPI representative as he has more questions regarding the program and wondering what classes will be transferred. I don't think he will apply until he is near or as close to the 90 credit hour mark as possible. He is looking at the UMPI Your Pace BBI with a concentration/area of specialty in Management and Leadership as it appears somewhat easier to get based on feedback on the forum.

From what we can see, it looks like UMPI would be the cheapest option to obtain a Bachelor's degree. Not counting the "D" grade in History, he will have about 25 transferrable RA credits. he will need an additional 65 credits or so (roughly about 11 or 12 three credit hour courses) to maximize the amount of classes that UMPI would accept.

Thanks,

There have been some changes to courses transferring from Sophia since ashkir completed his degree. 

Who are you scheduled to speak with at UMPI? If it's an enrollment counselor, you're wasting your time. They're sales people hired by a third party company. They know very little about UMPI. They can't help with transfer credits at all. 

He won't get an official response to transferring courses until he applies and they process his transcripts. We have everything that is needed to complete an UMPI degree listed in the Wiki. I wouldn't apply until he's completed the 90 transfer credits. It's best to focus on one provider at a time. He'll want to put his study time into UMPI's courses so that he'll move through them quickly. They're much more elaborate than Sophia's courses. 

What is BBI? Sounds like he's looking at UMPI's BABA Management & Leadership Concentration. 

I still believe he should join the forum and ask questions. You've asked the same questions repeatedly which may be due to the confusion of trying to complete 2 degrees at the same time. It's best to plan out one at a time. Some of the Pierpont degree may not transfer to UMPI. Your son also needs to understand how this works so it's really in his best interest to join the forum and ask questions. He'll be meeting with his academic advisor by himself once he's a student. He'll need to know what he took and where he thought the course should apply. He will need to advocate for himself. UMPI does follow FERPA so you won't be able to be a part of those conversations.
