AAS options post-Pierpont

Eastern WV: At least 15 of the 60 credits hours must be completed at Eastern
WV Northern: 12: A minimum of 12 credits required at the host institution.
12 RA, 3 host: BridgeValley, Mountwest, WVU at Parkersburg (may not accept international students), Southern
I couldn't find the requirements on Blue Ridge or New River. They were previously 12RA 3 host but is now missing on their BOG homepage/catalog.

It seems like we should to wait for the new academic catalogs.

Two points of interest:
1. $787.25 might be possible at Mountwest. While Out of state tuition is usually $512.67 per credit hour, the Transportation Technology Online Program is 205.75 per credit hour no matter the residency. A $40.00 per credit hour course fee will be assessed for any course designated as 100% online + $50 program fee (50% <6 credit hour)
$787.25 = $245.75 per credit hour * 3 credit hours + $50. I didn't see a portfolio fee on the tuition/bog pages.
I do not know if this works. You would probably have to apply for the transportation tech program first, complete a 3 credit hour course, transfer to the BOG, and graduate.
EDIT: There may be entrance requirements for the Transportation tech program. An outdated catalog page had a CDL cert as a requirement. May not be viable

2. Ohio residents qualify for WV tuition at WVU parkersburg so $564 is viable for Ohio people. No mention of a portfolio fee either.

I just confirmed at Eastern you need 15 credits completed at Eastern, not any other RA college. Also they do not accept Sophia, since they require proof that the Sophia exams were taken at a certified testing center, which is not even an option with Sophia. They were kind enough to evaluate my unofficial transcripts, so I didn't have to wait for the official ones to arrive (by mail from RA college). It's possibly a very good option for someone with enough credits from another RA college, and just needs 15 credits to finish. Then you can take those 15 online here.
WV Northern: Their current catalog for 2025-2026 shows only 3 credits required there. I just applied and will update the results. Do not know if they take Sophia.
