Iâm not sure if this is doable but wanted to ask opinions.
My son decided on the BA in Social Sciences but has also decided that on the way there to get the AAS Environmental, Safety & Security Tech. degree.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there any reason that he could not get an Associates in Business Administration degree also?
2. How would the credits work out from the other two degrees? Would some of the credits swap out from one degree to the other like the BASS and the AAS?
In working his way to the AAS he is filling his Free Electives with exams that would go into the Area of Study for the Bachelor of Social Sciences.
He is interested in taking some of the business CLEP/DSST exams but not really wanting to do two Bachelor degrees. Just that he has some interest in taking business exams. My thought is why not go for the Associates in Business Administration also, though Iâm lost as to how to accomplish it all within the year time-frame. Which brings up question 3: If it is doable to get 3 degrees-How many credits would he have to hold back on getting for the 3rd degree? My understanding is that he CAN get the AAS and BA Social Science at the same time.
He needs a degree-any type but I think it would be wise to also have something in the business end to add to a resume.
Iâve spent hours/days searching the boards for answers to these questions. Any help is greatly appreciated.
