TESU Dual Degrees Input needed

[hallk33]

Hello all,

Advising recently told me that it is impossible to pursue two bachelor degrees concurrently. They indicated that they only possible option was either to finish one degree and then earn another 24 credits for the next degree or by adding a second concentration which they stated isn't a second degree.

I'm very confused because it seems like there have been numerous people to earn a second degree at TESU in this forum. I'm looking for your experiences, did you earn a second degree concurrently or did you complete one after the other. 

In my case I was pursuing a BSBS in Operations Management and a BSAST in Technical Studies. Both plans were listed as active in my academic profile. I was admitted to the Bachelor to Master program for the MS in Technical Studies. Advising and registration contacted me after I was having difficulty getting the Masters classes to apply to my degrees. Those courses can only fit into the electives section which I already have filled (and apparently there is no way to change this smh). When they contacted me I was informed that I should have been conditionally admitted to the Masters program until I complete a Bachelors degree but that they had mistakenly fully admitted me. I thought that this was a minor oversight that won't affect my until they said and we removed the BSAST because it is is impossible to pursue two bachelor degrees at once. That the BSAST should have never been added to my program because I couldn't be working on it concurrently.

What is going on here? I wasn't aware that you couldn't pursue more than one bachelor degree as it seems like people here have done so and because TESU allowed me to add the second program. I'm really hoping that this is just goofiness related to confusion about the BSAST or advising not knowing how to do their job but I'm looking for input.
