Motivations behind multiple degrees
#31
I sincerely wanted a second bachelor's in science - at the time, the one I wanted was at TESU in Natural Science (no longer offered) but once I started taking grad courses and realized they weren't super hard, I put my energy on grad school. Now that I have a master's, I for sure have considered another master's, but my desire for another bachelors is gone. If I add another degree, it's going to be from Harvard and purely for vanity.

Unfortunately, I believe, at COSC, you have to do two Capstones if you want to do a double degree.

I decided to go for the BA in Psychology in addition to my BA CS at TESU. The earliest I can graduate is December so that gives me extra time to complete a second AOS & the BA Psychology can be tested out entirely, so why not?

Woah! Have Fun & Good Luck! That's an interesting double major and yes, both are completely test-out-able...
That's the Zuckerberg Combo (I didn't know he majored in that until someone mentioned - Zuckerberg Combo)!

I had a Business degree from decades before.

I really wanted a BS in Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HSEM) to go with a community college AAS in the same subject in my current academic/job interest.  One of the Big 3 became the best deal for me. Big Grin

I totally get the desire for more degrees.  I didn't discover this board until I was gathering for information for my kids. I earned a Business and French degree in 1991 and a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling in 1995.  I recently took all 5 PIA courses from Harvard extension and am applying for scholarships and trying to get my financial ducks in a row to be able to afford the 2 additional Social Science classes that I would need to complete the American Literature and Cultures Certificate through HES.  I have also been excitedly pondering programs in other subjects.  I just turned 50 this summer, but I even have a list of classes and Graduate Certificates that I am interested in pursuing once I turn 65 through the Donovan Scholar's program at my local State University, where you can take 6 hours each semester for free.  I love learning and plan to keep on pursuing knowledge and perhaps even certificates and degrees.

Thank you! I didn't know about the Zuckerberg Combo, that's pretty cool! I've always been interested in AI, so I figured I'd start with organic intelligence Wink  I hear that plenty of people do well with a CS + liberal arts combo, plus it just sounds like a well-rounded education to me.
