Do I Qualify for a Pierpont degree?

[mohelena02]

I am reading the qualifications and am a bit confused.

About me:
got my GED 15 years ago
completed 26 courses (over 70 credits) through Sophia and Study -- no other college credit whatsoever. I was enrolled in a community college years ago but never completed a class. 

Thank you for your help

Yes. But you will need at least 1 RA credit. Take https://ea.asu.edu/courses/technical-sup...s-cis-194/ for $25 while you get the ball rolling at Pierpont.

You also need to make sure that you have at least 6 credits in communications, 6 credits in math/science, 6 credits in social sciences, and 3 credits in computer literacy. If you list out the SDC/Sophia credits you have, we can confirm whether you've met the requirements.

Take Introduction to Information Technology from Sophia. It's super easy, you probably know everything already just by using a computer. Once you do that and the ASU course, you've got your requirements for the Pierpont degree.

You should be able to get an Area of Emphasis in Business, too, if that's what you want.

I'll add that to my course list and start taking it asap! 
Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.

Don't you need 12 RA credits for Pierpont? and then one of those RA has to be graded? OP has zero right now.

If it was me, I would find a different emphasis than Business as you're already going to be taking courses WGU Business Admin degree, the emphasis is redundant. I would complete more courses that you are interested in, if you know another language or something, take an ACTFL. There are so many "emphasis" options at Pierpont, find one that you're interested in, and if there are inexpensive courses such as IT (using the Google IT Professional cert), you can get an IT emphasis instead.

Technically yes, 12 RA credits are required. Currently, anyone with 1 graded credit will be able to complete the BOG AAS as it isn't fully enforced. I however, recommend the 12 RA credits for those starting as these can be used to ladder into 30 credits required at COSC or TESU in the future, or another institution later on.

Thank you for this info.

Do you know where I can see a list of emphasis that they have? I am planning on taking an ACTFL for Portuguese language. Do you have link to the specific Google IT course youre mentioning? I just want to make sure I have the right one that applies, I have a google project manager certification.

Thank you so much!

There is not a true "list", but we've learned about what criteria they use. See: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pi...f_Emphasis You could get an AoE in Spanish, but not Portuguese, because they offer classes in Spanish but they don't have any classes in Portuguese. The link to the correct Google certificate is also on that page.

Furthermore, if you want to see the list of the emphasis, it's available by doing a search on their webpage. Here's a thread post with the details, I would read my reply #2 for the link, and also my reply #12 for info: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...a-revealed
