Fast/cheap bachelors with lots of low-level classes

[dfrecore]

I KNOW there may be A bachelor's degree out there for one or more of these degree fields - that was not my point. The point is, those are VERY common all over the US at CC's and other 2 year schools, and an associates degree is what is generally needed to pass a national exam to become one of those things. A bachelor's degree is not necessary, and not common.

Yes, a school here or there may try to capture some of those students with an associates degree and try to "bridge" them to a bachelor's degree - but that's not what I was talking about (and generally these degrees require you to already have the Associates degree AND certification from somewhere already, and then fit them into a liberal studies or health studies or other general-type degree, so it's not a bachelor's degree in XYZ in the normal sense).

I guess if you could find the bachelor's degrees EVERYWHERE like you can find RN-to-BSN degrees all over the place, then it might change these from terminal degrees. But I was wondering why UMPI considers a BLS a terminal degree, when that is not the correct terminology for what they're trying to say about that degree (that they don't allow another degree once you get it). TESU does not allow a 2nd bachelor's degree - but they don't say "a second bachelors is a terminal degree."
