Is there a limit on degrees?

Gary Wrote:Almost all educators (and business people) will tell you to move forward, not laterally. I thought about doing that for my Business Admin degree and was talked out of it by many. In hindsight, I agree w/them. You'd be better at least going for a grad certificate than another Bachelors in almost all instances, UNLESS you are dramatically changing fields, such as Business to Chemistry or something along those lines. While that is my feeling, that is also the belief of many. One example, the Business Admin coordinator at Fairleigh Dickinson told me a few weeks ago, I am much better off moving forward and not taking their BA program, especially in light of how many qualified people are sitting on the sidelines right now waiting to get in the ballgame. Some programs, such as the MBA at Wilmington University will take you if you have a Bachelors Degree regardless of what it is in. They give you the needed prereqs in the early semesters so you will not struggle. There are other programs that do the same as well.

It is mostly a curiosity question, I'm not really interested in completing ten bachelor's degrees. hilarious

I may be looking at completing a BSN through them, so it's good to know that if I want the BSN that I can't look at another Bacc program at TESC. I also have the option of doing an RN-MSN bridge program through Drexel, which would be much more efficient, but it is also very competitive. So I want to keep my options open.

My field is psychology, which I love and don't really plan to leave, but I also plan to become a nurse practitioner so that I can help my future patients more effectively. Because I'm going after a doctorate in Psychology as well, I have a wide latitude as to the order in which I enter degree programs.

Thanks for the help!
