Pierpont BOG AAS area of emphasis criteria revealed!

[raekwon]

(Mods, feel free to merge this into the main Pierpont thread, but I thought that this bit of info merited a new one.)

We still don't have a true list of areas of emphasis, but straight from the Pierpont registrar's office, here's the criteria for adding an area of emphasis to your BOG AAS degree...

an area of emphasis can be declared if the students meet the 15 or more credits in that area and if PCTC offers that subject code

Backstory: I told my wife--who finished about 3/4 of her Bachelor's degree before life got in the way--about the BOG AAS from Pierpont and she decided to give it a try. She already had 60+ RA credits, so all she really needed to do was apply and send in her transcript. She emailed and asked Nancy to let her know what areas of emphasis (if any) her credits qualified her for. The response was that she had a lot of music credits (she was a music education major before switching to early childhood education) but that it was unknown whether or not that could be added. Nancy looped in the registrar's office and the above quoted response is what was given.

And since Pierpont does indeed offer one music course, my wife will be receiving her BOG AAS with an emphasis in Music.

So now we know.
