BOG AAS at West Virginia University at Parkersburg

[videogamesrock]

Hey, just wondering why you decided on this program over one of the Big 3?
From looking at the info, you can do a portfolio seeking credits from your NA courses.
It's $300 regardless of amount of credits + $10/credit awarded.
You may get all the credits you were provided by an NA school.

One night I decided to enroll at Ashworth after I completed all of my classes with 8 weeks to go at Rio Salado. I figured for the price of cancelling cable this would be more fun for me. The Ashworth tuition is about $83 a credit and testing out per class is only $20 per 3 credit test. Since the tests were only $20 I figured I should give it a shot. I wound up passing 10 courses by exam.

After one semester taking business courses and testing out on the Ashworth courses I realized that I can't stand business classes. The topics are so boring to me and I find it hard to focus on the material. That being said, I'll finish my final five courses there rather than repeating the material and graduating with either the Management and/or the BSBA. The tests are 24 hours long and open book so it shouldn't be as challenging as the 16 week business courses I took at my CC (yawn).

RA/NA doesn't bother me at all.

The BOG AAS interested me because of the ability to have as many AoE as possible which are self created. It's just a one course residency giving me the most for my money. I'm not sure if they will allow me to have all 6 AoE but I'll give it a shot.

I have considered the Big 3. Mainly Excelsior for the BSLA with a Focus in Foreign Language or even Athabasca University. But I'm still exploring areas of study that may interest me. In the fall I plan on taking some homeland security courses. I took a MOOC on terrorism which I found very interesting and the material was easy to understand.

I am in no rush to graduate and I would just like to enjoy the process and pick up as many trophies as possible along the way. The goal is 3 Associate degrees this year and maybe 3 BS degrees next year. Followed by a graduate degree at AMU by 2018ish.
