Could I get another degree by getting..say another 40-60 credit hours?

In general, a second degree requires 30 NEW credits beyond those credits that have previously been transcripted. Obviously, you must also meet EVERY requirement of the second degree where they differ from those of the first.
It would be unusual for a particular department within one college to award two degrees to the same person. For example, the Business School would be reluctant to award a degree in General Business and then also a degree in Business IT. It is more common to receive a degree from the Business Department, and then receive a second degree from the Liberal Arts Department (or vice versa).
I know that Excelsior has a specific rule against obtaining two degrees from the same school within the college. (School of Liberal Arts, School of Business, School of Nursing etc.)
Hope that helps,
