GI Bill Dilemma

[Leherself]

Would it work to apply for another bachelors degree, just take those needed masters prereqs, then apply for the local masters? It's not like you have to actually finish the degree.

Only if I can find a degree program that contains those specific courses, which I'm not sure I can. I'm looking at a MA in teaching social studies (high school). Even having almost completed a BA in Soc Sci, I didn't meet WGU's pre-requisites either, but I filled them with Straighterline and some CBE.

For the local school I'd have to redo... Let's see...

Western Civ I & II, U.S. History I & II, both economics classes, poli sci, international relations, american government, and two sociology classes.

Most of those would be lower level electives in any degree program, and I already have too many of those. In any case, it would irritate me to have to redo so many credits I've already earned. WGU has a perfectly good teaching program that's accepted up here (anything NCATE accredited would work). If I'm going to take extra undergrad classes, I'd rather cover new ground instead of wasting a bunch of time rehashing the same old lower division stuff.
