Hello everyone, I’ve been looking all over this forum and collecting as much info as I can. Now I’m at a point where I’m a little confused.
I’m interested in getting the BOG AAS a from Pierpont. I have 12 credits from a RA school, way out of HS and don’t have a degree.
My end goal for now is to get certification from ASCP for my job. In order to qualify I need 60 credits or an Associates, with 12 credits being a combination of BIO and CHEM.
Talking with Nancy at Pierpont, I realize that do not accept BIO CLEP credits. So my question is, what’s the difference between getting credits from CLEP and a place like Saylor or Straighterline? Does that make a difference as to whether they accept it or not? I’d rather not have to take an extra course just because they won’t accept BIO, but I realize this may be the only option. Well, there is COSC but BOG is so much cheaper. I have to pick between those two because according to the ASCP guidelines they fall under the correct accreditations.
Thanks everyone.
