Coursera Plus - Available at Pierpont?

[bjcheung77]

Anyone know? Does Pierpont provide Coursera Plus to students? 

Apparently UMPI provides 6 months Coursera Plus, if you can get 6 months from Pierpont as well, that would be a whole year to get extra certs.  For example, someone can do Pierpont BOG AAS with a Business emphasis and when done, they can do the 6 months from Coursera to get the 40+ technical credits and more.  When applying to UMPI, they can go for the BAS with a minor or two, plus the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL.  

If they want, they can delay their enrollment for the BAS or a different UMPI degree for another 6 months to get Coursera certs/credits towards the electives.  This will max the transfer credits and also fill the electives, plus will add to the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience.  Once this is all done, if you really wanted to, you can do extra Coursera or EdX classes to extend your learning or knowledge skillset, plus pad that resume...

Sadly, no.

Bummer, they haven't started with the "Grow with Google in partnership with Coursera" that some states already have. Initially, I thought that Pierpont BOG AAS went up in price to $130 from being 'free' because of this. Then I thought they'll go up to the new pricing of $300/$350 coming Fall 2024 because of this, I guess government agencies are 'slow' in rolling out their initiatives, at least, slower than what I would have thought...

I'll most likely miss this if or when they roll it out, but for those reading, hopefully in the near future you can get the freebie!

As someone who now lives in WV, thanks for posting those plans.
