AAS options post-Pierpont

[newdegree]

Pierpont is still reading the WVCTCS BOG Handbook (Page 3) wrong.

The BOG Residency Requirement is very clear:

Residency Requirement:

12 credit hours from a regionally accredited higher education institution. A minimum of 3 credits may be required at the host institution.

It only says that they MAY require 3 credits be completed at the host institution.

Someone should probably inform them.

The only problem is if they enforce that 3 credits be taken at Pierpont for non-residents that is $1,707 in addition to the $350.

Someone forward thinking at Pierpont would bundle a special online class with this degree for a lower cost.

It's up to the school's discretion what they wish to do with the program. They may be seeking revenue to support the campus, in-person students, and to pay professors a fair wage
