Working on Pierpont AAS

[bjcheung77]

Question: "A couple more questions regarding which school to pursue next: Is a BA or BS a better choice, or does it matter? Is an "applied science" Bachelor's seen as "lesser" than another type of degree?"

It really depends on the person, if you're younger and have no certs/experience, then a BA/BS in a specific domain/subject area is better. If you're well rounded and of an older age, with certs/experience within your field of study, then you can have a quick 'check the box' degree.

Question: I have UMPI, A&M Commerce, and possibly Excelsior or another school as possibilities but which would be best considering I'm pretty disinterested in Business studies? Question: Or is A&M really my best choice here with limited budget?

Yes, TAMUC is the first choice, UMPI second, Excelsior third. If you want to try South Texas College CBE, it'll jump to second choice and leap frog UMPI and Excelsior. Here's a list: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...d_Programs

Question: If Excelsior accepts up to 113 credits and I can get near to that with Study.com and Sophia etc. would that be cost effective to take the last few with them?
No, I would not go with them, the Excelsior Capstone itself is equal work, if not more, than the entire 30 credits for UMPI/TAMUC or probably South Texas College CBE classes.
