Question about Second Bachelor's Degree & ACE Credits
#10
(12-12-2017, 09:45 AM)cookderosa Wrote: One last comment, as you search, EVEN WHEN a school accepts most of your credit toward the second degree, check the math for the remaining credit to earn.  Sometimes the cost (in dollars) to make that happen isn't worth it.  If a college wants to give you 75% of a degree but charges you $35k for the last 25%, you can get a master's for that.  
Hope that helps.

This was a huge factor in not pursuing a second bachelor at TESU. Even with a good portion of the courses with outside testing options, the math just didn't add up. I also felt the same energy to knock out the 24 credits on a second bachelor could be spent to complete a master and in the end, that's how it all played out.

Patten, if completed in 1 term ($1,300) is an excellent option for a second bachelor.
