Rest in peace, Pierpont BOG AAS?

[Ares]

I honestly think what killed it was:

1. The ridiculous nonsense with the 1 RA credit course and not enforcing the mandatory 12 RA credit requirement, since the 3 residency credits could be waved.
2. International students trying to obtain the BOG degree when that was never the intention of the program.
3. People with an existing degree who did not need it and were not supposed to be allowed to obtain it, lying and getting it since it was cheap thus wasting school resources and possibly preventing or delaying people who actually could benefit from it from obtaining it. These people were effectively committing fraud since the program clearly says you cannot have an existing degree to get the BOG.
4. Parents manipulating the system to get their child a degree almost right out of High School when it was clear this program was for working adults who finished some college but never obtained a degree which is why they should increase the age requirement to at least 25 years old.

Overall the A.A.S. Board of Governors degree is an excellent program that can significantly change some people's lives. I wish more states had a similar program.
