Efficient Associate degree plan from scratch

[cwendy111]

Age discrimination is a real thing and whether you agree or not, limiting opportunities strictly based on age is exactly that.

Pierpont does not discriminate based on age.

From their website:

"This degree program is open to any student who has graduated from high school two or more years prior"

While the program is designed for adult learners, there is no mention of a specific age restriction.

Seeing that most people graduate HS as 18yr old adults, and they require 2 years after that, it pretty much excludes anyone under 20yrs old. Of course there are exceptional kids who graduate younger, but that 2 year wait will likely push even the very ambitious student into 18 yrs of age (adult). Sure there are some rare 12 yr olds who graduate HS, but their paths are different aren't they? So it is a clandestine age restriction for adult learners only. It's OK, they want adult learners, it's cool, I'm over it. Other schools have similar restrictions, including TESU, although they do have an appeals process. 

Seems the term "age discrimination" is inflammatory for some of you. It's just a word. When you break down the meaning of "discrimination" and remove the emotion, combined with the policy, the word fits. They are excluding a large number of the population based solely on their age. Whatevs, their program, their rules. We will find another way.
