Basic Questions Compilation (Primer/FAQ for Newcomers)

You've been talking about doing an BALS and a BA English at the same time. Since those are both BAs, it is NOT two degrees, it is a second Area of Study, which IS discussed in the article. For a dual AOS, you fulfill one set of GenEds, then fulfill both AOSs. You can have up to 9 credits in the AOSs overlap.  

I can't see why anyone would get a BALS and a BA in English.  Seems like a complete waste of time.  It's a general degree, and then a specific degree.  Why wouldn't you just stick with a specific degree (that's a good degree by the way)?

I always question people who get a BSBA in General Management and another specific AOS as well.  There is zero point to it.  Just get that specific AOS, which will be perfectly acceptable in almost every case.  Get 2 if you want, both specific.  But a specific and general is a waste of time (and money).
