Which Degree Program Would You Choose???

They’ll go into the technical courses or into general electives if you are doing the BAS: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan

Hi Everyone.  

I just got notified by Pierpont that I'm all set for Aug 2nd Graduation. Step 1 looks to be completed. :-)

I applied to UMPI to start in September, but I have a question regarding that. I was told by the admissions person I'm dealing with that I should have an admissions decision by the end of this week. When I applied, I selected the BLS program. Assuming I'm accepted, when do I let them know that I'd like to pursue the BAS degree? I'm guessing I should do this before I actually start as it will influence my class choices. The point that causes me to question the timing is the graduation from Pierpont. If I graduate on Pierpont on Aug 2nd, does this mean that from Aug 2nd, I have the associate degree or does this complete at a later date? I've read that it can take from 6-8 weeks to receive the actual diploma from Pierpont, but I would think the degree is valid much sooner.  

I want to make sure I navigate this properly. I don't want to hinder my progress at all.

Thx!

Congrats on getting that first part done! Hmm... August 2 graduation? Not September grad? If you graduate August 2, or Sept 2, that would be the date of graduation. Your diploma will have the date showing, it's not when you receive the diploma in hand. You can only change the program from BLS to BAS after you send them your transcripts and they've done the evaluation. I had them do the BLS and then the BAS for me, after that was done, I accepted the program and terms to finally be enrolled. I still haven't paid for my Summer Session 2 yet...

I got my acceptance email from UMPI. All set!

The email from Pierpont said Aug 2nd.  We'll see!
