N.J. Governor Wants to Merge Thomas Edison Into Rutgers

Below is a copy of the e-mail I received about it.

Hi Linda,

I checked on the college's second degree policy and you would be able to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in History, because it is a different subject area than your first Bachelors degree. As of right now our second degree policy states that students are required to do at least 30 additional (new) credits to go for a second bachelors degree. If you wait until after July 1, that policy is changing and you will only have to do at least 24 new credits. I did an unofficial evaluation for a BA in History for you and based on what you have already taken you will need 30 credits in history regardless because right now you only have 3 completed.

You also asked me yesterday how the BA in History is changing after July 1. After July 1 students will be required to complete at least 18 credits of 300 or 400 level courses in their major.

If you have any other questions let us know.

Thanks,

I want to test out of the whole thing so I will do the 30 200 and up credits

That's great! Thanks!

From what I understand, you can add this on after you have already graduated w/ first degree, right?
I plan to graduate in December and the start graduate school early next year. So I don't want to delay graduate school to add this on, but if I can do it between October and January and maybe even finish it up while in graduate school, that would be great.
