2nd bachelor degree -- how does it work?
#3
a2jc4life Wrote:Dumb question -- and this is purely because the curiosity has been driving me crazy. If you already have a bachelors degree and return for a second, do you need general ed all over again, or do they count that as satisfied by your first degree?

Generally No, you are not required to get another 60 gen ed credits to earn a second bachelors. Usually you just need whatever the set number of credits the school wants for you to earn a Bachelors in lets say Accounting. No one would be going back for a second bachelors degree if they had to earn another 120 credits, why wouldn't you just go get a PhD for that amount of effort.

I know at TESU you only need 24 additional credits in whatever AoS you want your second degree in. I am not 100% sure on that number and its probably 12-18 that need to be UL as well. I am actually considering a second bachelors over a Masters because of cost and time to earn.

I have never heard of anyone earning a Bachelor's degree at lets say TESU and then a second bachelors somewhere else (I'm not saying this isn't doable just never heard of it). This was something I was looking into but the school I was considering hasn't gotten back to me yet.
