Getting a second TESC degree?

[Sam]

Hi bkbarden!

Rules for 2nd degrees are on pg 129 of the catalog linked here:

My personal situation may or may not be relavant but I'll relate it in case the info is helpful to you or others. -- I was salivating b/c I'm 3 easy test out courses from a BA in Soc Sci...But a BA in Psych has more clout in my line of work. Soooo I asked an advisor if I could get the BA SS then do the BA in Psych later. He said that violates the policy on no subsequent degrees. (imo it's a dumb rule b/c it would be easy to get a BA then get a second BA from another school.)

BUT in your case, bkbarden, the degrees are in different disciplines and they are different types (see pg 129) so I think it would work. As to your question "Will Gen Eds from one degree transfer to the next without a problem?" I asked the advisor that exact question but I'm sorry to say he didn't answer. But if I had to guess it seems logical that your SS gen ed credits would apply to your business degree.

One suggestion: Since per tesc rules you can't speak to an advisor until you're enrolled, maybe you could ask the general information phone line. Some prospective test students have gotten helpful answers when calling them.

Best,

Sammy
