BA in Psychology 2nd Degree

[vanglorious]

I'm considering extending my enrollment for 3 months to get a 2nd Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I would study for courses while waiting for my 1st bachelor's degree (and AAS) to be conferred up to the deadline for exams to be taken for the the next conferral date. Because my 1st Bachelor degree would be a BS in AST my thought was that a BA in Psychology would look better to grad schools. But, since my graduate degree would be in the health field (Physician Assistant) I'm not sure the BS in AST would be a hindrance to entrance. I originally started out pursing a BS degree in Cognitive Science (Biopsychology) with a Computer Science minor and I've always loved the field of Psychology. But, if the BA wont help I won't spend the extra time and money on it.

Btw, I looked up the degrees offered at TESC and Psychology was listed as both: BA in Psychology and BA in Liberal Studies with a focus on Psychology. Which is it? I hope just the BA in Psych.

Aside: I would love to take some of the 24 additional credits for the second degree via online community college courses (for UL credit) but was told that I couldn't start any coursework until my degree is conferred. Is there a work around for this? If I complete coursework for my degree(s) by July 1st do I actually have to wait until September 1st to start courses for my 2nd bachelors or could I start in July?
