Any CS/career change help?

[bry55n92]

@bry55n92, Welcome to the board, did you get an associates already with the credits you have? If not, apply to the Pierpont BOG AAS and graduate with an emphasis in Emergency Medical Services (without doing any extra work, just pay for transcripts and the new student fee), since you're not planning to be in the field and pivot to CS/IT related positions, it's best to 'complete' an associates with that in case you want to have a lateral move in that health field later on, or stay in healthcare but move into the IT related positions in that industry. Take your time to review advice, posts/threads, and the WIKI for plans.

I recommend working on the trifecta of certs, degree, experience - you have the experience in an particular field, you can work on some cheap/free certs in Business & IT and use those towards a degree if they have ACE recommendation for college credit. Here's my suggestion - You can then transfer your credits into the UMPI BABA PM & IS concentration (mainly Project Management with some MIS courses), or the UMPI BAS with minor in MIS, also take a second minor if you want in Management or Project Management, this option allows up to 60 credits you can use from the ACE credits/certs. Good luck, have fun...

Thanks for the advice!

I think I’m going to plan toget the BOG degree now in EMS and then the google course for the credit for WGU.

Do you or anyone else happen to know the best way to compare/contrast the courses required for the various IT bachelors at WGU?

I’d like to pick one but don’t want to pigeon hole myself so would like to have the 25% difference for a potential second bachelors.
