Need Degree Advice and Plan

[bjcheung77]

Yes, the TESU Electronics Degree can go towards the UMPI BLS... however, you answered your own query, it is going to take the extra energy or time to get the credits and transfer them in, plus it will exceed your budget (a big increase as the capstone for the associates is already $1600), that's 1 term of all you can take at UMPI...  Here's the kicker and what you would most likely follow as it's the most ROI/Value, and the cheapest, easiest, fastest, option to your Bachelors, see below for more details...

Even though you have an Associates, we have reports that individuals who have an associates or higher (up to Masters) were able to obtain an Associates at Pierpont, you can get the Pierpont BOG AAS now for just $130+transcript fees (just make sure to send your MDC, CUNY, and hopefully it doesn't indicate you've been awarded the degree, just the courses/transcripts of classes completed)... With this Pierpont BOG AAS, you can get an emphasis of Electric Utility Technology OR Energy, maybe have an Info Systems emphasis instead.

You can then ladder this with the Coursera Plus/TADA offerings I mentioned in my previous post above, this will get you the technical credits required for a BAS (Applied Science) at UMPI instead of a BLS (Liberal Studies), the name of the degree sounds better and also the requirements are slightly easier to complete.  You will then take the two sessions to complete the degree requirements at UMPI after you complete the Sophia.org courses I mentioned again in the previous post, that's just $3K at UMPI.

This is what you would end up with, your current AS from MDC, Pierpont BOG AAS, UMPI BAS (Applied Science) with a minor or two (MIS, Management) or three if you want to add Project Management as well because of overlapping credits and you need the Upper Level credits to fulfill at UMPI, plus residency purposes.  You can also add the UMPI AALS by adding it to your program list and forgetting it.  So, 3 Associates, Bachelors of Applied Science with minors of your choice, and under your budget of $4K.
