Assistance choosing Pierpont BOG AOE |

I just received confirmation from Pierpont that I have satisfied all requirements for the BOG degree for December graduation. Thank you for all the information posted on here that allowed me to get this completed right before the deadline! I could use some advice though, I transferred in about 130 credits and I am eligible for either a business or information technology AOE. I’m leaning toward the IT AOE. I may attempt the UMPI route after and attempt my bachelors and I want to be on the easiest path possible to earn one. Does anyone have any insight if either of these AOEs puts me on an “easier” path than the other to a UMPI bachelors? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I just found out my work will cover 100% of an MBA over at University of Phoenix since this are "partners". How are they these days, I know they took a lot of scrutiny back then. Everyone seems to just spam the word SCAM all over reddit. I was planning an HAU MBA upon graduating and just thought I'd ask about it since It was offered to me.

Taking more classes than required for degree |

I searched the previous few pages, and I've seen a little bit on the subject of law schools and admissions, but nothing concrete.
I imagine there would be no issue, but I would like to take more classes than I'm required to in order to get graded credits for LSAC. I have over 100 credits between RA, ACE, etc. that I will be bringing, so I only *need* 30 to graduate, but I'd like to add minors/fluff to get to a good GPA for LSAC (making up for 10 years ago) and get over 60 graded credits to get a good GPA to go with LSAC applications.
Once the requirements are met is the degree automatically conferred? LSAC only counts credits *before* the first bachelor's degree.
Thanks in advance. I've been lurking here since 2020 and should have jumped into this back then... looks like things have gotten more difficult and I've only put off my own progress.

Excelsior courses are a mixed bag |

I started taking courses at Excelsior and brought in decades worth of credits. i ended up needing 10 classes which i should hopefully finished after summer. Working full-time and a busy home life with my kids I figured eight week courses was perfect. I'd do one course every eight weeks.
i loved the IND class. I learned so much and increased my confidence as a returning student especially with writing papers.
Since then I'm finding it a mixed bag.
I took a course in tech writing with a teacher who seemed to not know how to communicate clearly and anything he wrote me either as answers to questions made no sense and did not help me at all. I couldn't wait to finish the course. I did learn about an important research topic but that had zero to do with the content of the course only that we had to write a science paper about some topic so I picked a topic that I wanted to learn.
I then had this wonderful intro to personal communication courese (comm 210) and the teacher was good and the class was designed well aside from one problem: nobody in my group wanted to actually have constructive communication and whenever I brought stuff up nobody responded and it made for a very frustrating experience. One person decidedto be the leader and post but she did it before everyone was ready and also didn't post correct information all the time. That said I learned a lot because the assignments were designed well and the textbook was excellent.
So i'd like to say that I'm learning a lot in Comm 324 but because the class is designed badly, the teacher basically as bad as the tech writing one where he does not respond to any questions I have this class and a textbook that uses a lot of awkward and unwieldly language I can't wait to finish this class.
So the real reason I'm posting is if I were younger and doing this again I would not take courses through Excelsior. They don't include the instructor information so you can't even check who the instructor is while registering to do see if there's research about them. So by design you never know if you're going to get a great class or a really frusrating one.
That sad I am getting my degree soon, but I wanted to enjoy the experience. if the school spent as much on resources with other classes that they spent on the ones everyone takes and they worked harder on ensuring the instructors were competent this would be a much better school.

Umpi transfer to a brick and mortar? |

Hi guys, Long time lurker and first time poster here.
I am interested in becoming a lawyer eventually and I have my eye set on a top 5 law school. I have looked around a fair bit and haven't been able to find anyone who has went to a top 5 law school from UMPI. I am aware of someone on these forums who is currently going to Cornell law who attended TESU first but that does seem to be more of an exception.
I am getting older (mid 30's) so accelerating through my bachelors anyway I can is ideally what I am looking for while still being able to get into a specific law school. If that can save me a year or two that's okay with me. I don't think hacking my bachelors via Sophia and study.com will necessarily work in my case but I guess I was more considering going to UMPI for 60 / 70 credits at an accelerated pace and then transferring to a brick and mortar for the other 50 / 60 credits.
I know UMPI is Regionally accredited, but I am just wondering if this will work out? Will it be easy to transfer out credits from UMPI to a more recognizable brick and mortar university? any challenges you foresee doing it this way?
Thoughts?
Thanks guys!
