Multiple Bachelor Degrees Possible?

[carrythenothing]

that is a sense of personal accomplishment and meeting a respected learning goal/milestone

If it's at all possible to get personal accomplishment from moving to the next academic level, it'll be a much more "respected learning goal/milestone" than a third (or even second in many cases) bachelor's degree.

Just leaving these here:
MA in Interdisciplinary Studies, Athabasca University
Arctic & Northern Studies, University of Alaska Fairbanks

I have my eye on a Masters too - specifically the MA in World Heritage Studies from BTU (in Germany). ;-)

But I may also, one day years from now, want to study other subjects so I wanted to see what my options could be.

I did consider the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies (Heritage and Social History) at Athabasca, unfortunately, it is currently running about $20,000 CAD which is too expensive for me. That is one of the reasons I was so happy to come across this forum with alternative ideas to study for less which is how I learned of the MA in World Heritage Studies that is currently ~ $500 CAD for the online option.

I haven't heard of the Arctic & Northern Studies program so I'll check that out too.

To me this makes more sense.  I understand the interest in taking formal coursework.  I prefer the structure and find that the deadlines help me to accomplish more than I might without them.  Piling up Bachelors degrees however, feels like a whole bunch of lateral moves and I prefer the feeling of moving forward.  I would move forward into the Masters level programs.  Personally I am considering a Masters in Professional/Creative Writing.  I think it would be interesting and fun and I could parlay it into a little revenue stream if I wanted.  Best of luck with your choices, whichever way you decide to jump.

I understand how it could feel like a lateral move to get another Bachelors degree and absolutely, if these degrees were for my career I would only be considering moving to a Masters, especially to reap the potential benefits of an increased salary, promotion etc. especially with the limited free time I'd have since I would be still working. 

For me, the Masters of World Heritage Studies is pretty far removed from my prior degree so that is why I'm going to try to earn a BA in History first. I feel like this will lead nicely into this Masters program and give me the best chance for acceptance. However, I may not get into this program so just looking at what other options I might have that I will be able to afford to continue some sort of formal learning for years to come.
