Pierpont BOG IS concentration to UMPI BAS with minors

[bjcheung77]

That is the plan to take 20-25 total classes on Sophia Learning, before I submit my request to Pierpont for the BOG AAS Degree. Then I wanted to get into Cybersecurity and get these CompTia Certifications (IFT+, A+, NETWORK+, SECURITY+) and get a job in GovTech.

Cool, a great plan, I would skip the ITF+ as IT Fundamentals isn't free and very basic that you may already have the skills for already, unless it's stackable into something larger, it's ROI/Value isn't really there. Having said that, A+, Network+, Security+ should be part of the 'stackable' options, it goes well with the certs, degree, experience trifecta I recommend.

My brother has the Pierpont AAS Info Systems, has used TADA to literally get every Google cert available.

He has applied to UMPI to the BLS program, what would be the benefits of him applying to this BA program instead?

Trying to understand so he can do the best program. He is tech savvy and is currently a project manager (at a very very small organization) so his degrees are to help him pivot into a career at a larger org with more financial opportunity and growth opportunities.

Thank you in advance.

You have to apply for the Your Pace programs available, which is the BA, BABA, BLS, the BAS isn't an option when you apply. Once accepted, transcripts reviewed, you email the advisor to change the programs (that is if you're eligible), the BAS requires an AAS, part of the AAS, you need 40+ technical credits, just having the AAS is not enough for entry. Not many people know the BAS/BLS requirements differ, it's actually easier to finish the BAS...
