Two questions regarding to 1. TESU second degree and 2. bachelor to master program

[lylx1981]

Hi All, I just have two seperate questions and hope get your inputs, I appreciate it!!

1. Regarding the second bachelor degree policy --- it says:

• Complete a minimum of 24 credits including the required capstone for the degree. 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. --- Question 1: Currently, I only completed 6 credits for the AOS of my second-degree program (45 credits required in total) using my course I took for my first bachelor degree, does that mean I have to complete 45-6 = 39 credits, which is much more than 24?
  
  
• Additionally, students must complete all other degree requirements as listed in the current Thomas Edison State University Catalog. --- Question 2: Does that mean all the degree requirements shall be met, e.g. if the second degree requires that 18 credits should be from 300/400 courses, I still need to meet this requirement for my second bachelor program?
  
• Question 3: I still can leverage study.com to complete course requirements for my second bachelor program (assuming I do not exceed the credit transfer limits),  right?
  

2. Regarding TESU's the bachelor's to master program (you can use 12 graduate credits to be applied to both of your bachelor program and master program), it requires the following "they have at least three years of professional experience" -- Question 4: what does this mean? work experience? Do we need to provide proof? 
In addition, Question 5: once I fill the "Bachelor’s to Master’s Inquiry Form", what will happen next? Any prior experience?


Thank you very much in advance!!!
