Looking for another BS degree option (non-IT)

[NewatTESU]

Hi All, 
I am back with questions. 

I hold a BS/MS in IT and am currently exploring opportunities to diversify my academic profile. I am particularly interested in non-IT fields such as healthcare or other disciplines. My goal is to find a program that recognizes my previous academic credits, thereby allowing me to complete the degree with minimal additional coursework and cost. This endeavor is primarily aimed at enhancing my professional profile with a degree from a non-IT field.

WGU has a master's in healthcare administration or management. 

UMPI has undergrad degrees in various fields and lots of minor options.

Are you looking at graduate or undergraduate programs?

Would be looking for BS since it accepts credit transfer and cheaper options.

Great job in finishing the BSIT/MSIT at PUG! If you have tuition assistance or reimbursement from work, or if you're with Bright Horizons (EdAssist), Guild, or any other company that has similar benefits, you can get the 'perks' to pay for your Bachelors/Masters combo. I suggest the WGU BS Healthcare Admin and ladder that to the MSML right after... Another option is do the TESU BACS/BS CIS combo, you've got the bulk of the classes completed except the ones for residency or paying the residency waiver fee. Last but not least, you can do UMPI BABA PM & IS and ladder that to the MAOL, if you don't want to go the WGU route...

I think the OP would have to pick one degree at TESU not the combo you suggest. TESU allows for 2nd bachelors, the double would leave the OP with completing a 2nd and a 3rd.

Hmm, I recall they having an option for that, they don't subject you to having two degrees in total, it's just two degrees from TESU at each level...

Didn’t understand both the comments from allvia and bjcheung77

I'm not sure what's confusing you or what you don't understand, advice is just that, you can take the advice and make your decisions after more research.  Do what you did before, review posts/threads and decide what course of action is best for you after reading more details, including what's on the WIKI.  There are so many choices other than a BS, you can do the HAU MBA for example for $3K if they've got the special discount going on still.  

Or, you can do a one-and-done from PUG again, a BSBA and MBA entirely using the ExcelTrak option.  It doesn't really matter what advice is brought to you, you're going to decide for yourself anyways, as you'll be swayed in all directions... So, review my post #4 again, you can review the signature of another member jsd and see they've completed two degrees at TESU and a BS from WGU in between the two degrees, heck, even a GT degree too.

Thanks for the clarification !
I wasn't clear with your comment that you posted after allvia. Anyway thank you for great suggestion as well.

Healthcare admin is a completely worthless degree without a healthcare background.

No real healthcare degrees can be done online only
