Second Bachelors

[tck2008]

Hi All,

It doesn't have to be specific to Liberal Arts but it is the one I found at TESU to finish faster without realizing of the second bachelors policy. I was thinking of just finishing the 3 courses and transfer them but I was ignorant of the policy.

I built a case today to appeal the second bachelors and just continue with the MBA. It will be reviewed by the board and a final decision in 2 weeks. In the meantime I really want to prepare to the outcome whatever it may be.

In case I have to do the second bachelors I agree it should be the fastest/cheapest one ever. I cannot agree with you more that is nonsense but it wont take me long to do an easy path to it. I want to concentrate on the MBA and want to learn more about what school and issues with Patten. I heard it is the cheapest / fastest but also there are some negative facts I still need to read.

Thank you all !!!

Below is the feedback from TESU:

According to our second degree policy, if you are interested in earning a BA degree in Liberal Studies after your ASBA degree and BSBA degree are awarded you will need to complete a minimum of 24 semester hours of credit in the Liberal Studies area of study after your other degrees are awarded on December 15, 2017. You will also need to pay any applicable enrollment fees and another graduation fee for any additional degree that you are interested in pursuing. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor if you would like to pursue any additional degrees.

Second degree policy –

Second Baccalaureate Degree
Students who have received one baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a second baccalaureate degree must:

· Complete a minimum of 24 credits. These credits must be in the area of study and/or core of the degree. These credits must be earned after the date the most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.

· Additionally, students must complete all other degree requirements as listed in the current Thomas Edison State University Catalog.
