Thanks for the replies so far. So, of the Big 3 schools, are TESC's degrees the ones which can be obtained with the smallest number of classes?
Looking to strengthen my resume and pick up some new knowledge with at least one other degree.
Additionally, I mentor youth through a non-profit, have a hand in raising several children, and also have friends who have struggled with fitting a degree into their lives. As such, I'm not here searching for degree plans exclusively for myself.
Bachelor of Arts - Political Science (Brick-and-Mortar Institution, 2012)
Bachelor of Humanities - English Secondary Education (Brick-and-Mortar Institution, 2012)
Master of Education - English (Brick-and-Mortar Institution, Expected: December 2014)

I've forgotten what the rule is exactly, but I think you would have a problem getting EC to allow a third bachelor's degree.

Here it is: http://www.excelsior.edu/third-degree Thanks for sharing that. Is that also the case at Charter Oak State College and Thomas Edison State College?

None of the Big 3 offer a third bachelor's degree.

TESC "will not award a third associate or bachelorâs degree," according to their longstanding Award of Degrees policy.
There's a possibility that if one or both of your prior bachelor's degrees aren't U.S. regionally accredited, they might not count them against that maximum.

So what if a person were to submit no transcripts to these schools when applying and simply took tests/courses to fulfill the requirements?
To be honest, I'm not necessarily after another bachelor's and would be fine with an associate's.

If you are a teacher, why not try adding an area of certification to your license? Or obtaining a graduate certificate or specialist (or even doctorate) degree? Usually graduate credits will move you over on the pay schedule in teaching, but perhaps not at your school.

^I am looking to leave the education field soon and am interested in pursuing associate's degrees in Business ( TESC's ASBA program in particular), Communications, or Psychology.
