Does Charter Oak grant 3rd degrees?

If you don't mind sharing, why are you pursuing a third bachelor's degree when you already have two others, a masters and grad cert, and are working on a PhD?

Outside of changing careers, meeting academic prerequisites, or just the personal satisfaction of saying you did it, I have a hard time seeing the value of a second bachelor's degree, much less a third... at least from my own perspective. Particularly once you start down the path of postgraduate education. So I'm curious to learn more about your goals in getting a BSGS on top of your existing credentials.

Personally, I've thought about getting a CS (or Software Development) degree from WGU or TESU. I figure it would help to pad my academic resume in case I decide to attempt to get into a good masters or doctorate level CS program, plus it would quiet the voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me I should get a CS degree since it should be fairly easy for me to do given my background and experience. But I have a hard time justifying the additional effort and expense for a second bachelor's degree when I could be using that time to work on a master's or doctorate. Plus I really don't want to deal with more math unless I have to.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
