Question:
I am about 21 credits away from the BSBA CIS. I am considering working towards accounting for a second AOS. Does TESU count that as two degrees? Does an additional associates count as another degree? I also am interested in the 12 credit graduate certificate program in school administration/supervision. If I completed two undergraduate degrees, would I also be able to do the certificate program? Thanks in advance.
Mike

You can do a second concentration with your BSBA. You can do both CIS and ACcounting. It is not a second degree.
I'm not sure on the certificate, but probably.

Thanks, Ideas. Am I right in assuming that an associates doesn't impact the count? I might go for an associates in math or computer science.

You're correct on the Associate.

Here's some helpful info if you're still unsure of what you want to do. I also suggest you take a double concentration in your BSBA.
You can go for an associates, it won't really matter, but I do recall that there's a limit of 4 undergraduate degrees total. So...
For example, 2 associates, 2 bachelors. Or you can mix and match to get 4 total... Nationally Accredited U's don't have this restriction.

You could even do both, I believe. However, the computer science one is not easy to test out of. Most likely you would need real courses, so the cost is higher too.
