International Students for Pierpont BOG AAS Program

[bjcheung77]

Thank you for your advice on future study suggestions.

I want to emphasize that I have received information from Malaysia's MQA (Malaysia Qualification Agency) that in Malaysia, only programs accredited by the local government of the college's location are recognized. Therefore, qualifications from ENEB may not be considered official qualifications in my country, so i need plan to having a BOG AAS first.

I am interested in knowing if there are any BOG AAS plans available for me to refer to, which would enable me to earn credits through Sophia.org or other platforms to reduce costs. 

Below link is the tuition fees for pierpont, is a bit out of my budget if i take all courses from Pierpont.

@Weelun, Hey, let's get a little bit more details and I'll explain what I meant earlier... BTW, where in Malaysia are you in? I've been to Malaysia several times over the years, and always to West Malaysia as I head over to Singapore often (never been to the East Malaysia side though, like Kuching or Kota Kinabalu).

For now... Basically... You can read Rachel83AZ's post again, there are several links with detailed info on the degree plan for BOG AAS and an emphasis option of your choice. There are no additional tuition fees for Pierpont as you're not taking anything there, you'll be transferring everything into the BOG AAS degree.

Note: You should get the ASU class and all the Sophia.org classes that do not have any touchstones towards the BOG AAS as it'll be cheaper, easier, faster, as you can complete quizzes/exams all open book without touchstones (no assignments/grading delays). Having said that, I would then spend some time on those that have touchstones for laddering to UMPI BAS.

To elaborate my post #2, you go the BOG AAS first, ladder to UMPI BAS, then MAOL route when you're ready. Having said that, I mentioned ENEB may be evaluated as a Bachelors/Grad cert, these can go towards the BAS/MAOL if they allow additional transfers to the MAOL, or if you get evaluations from MQA that can use them as Level 7 towards a Masters locally in Malaysia.

Finally, you need to get all the TVET evaluations completed, as these are Technical and Vocational Education and Training that is required for the 40+ technical credits used for the UMPI BAS degree, without the 40+ tech credits, you're leaving out vital foreign credits that may bite you in the behind later on. These Level 3-4-5 are the first/second/third year of a Bachelors. Easy eh?
