I know alot but have no degree

That is if graphic design courses will count as liberal arts courses. If they do, wouldn't it make more sense to get an official concentration in humanities? There is also the learner-designed area of study at TESU and the individualized studies major at COSC.

TESU let me count all my graphic design courses into the liberal studies degree, and they wouldn't allow me to do a Learner Designed Area of Study. However, staff change so maybe the OP would have luck with it. Yes, humanities could be another potential. I think the biggest issue is that these days with all the software that checks resumes I would just want to find some way to put graphic design on the resume under education.

TESU also offers an art degree with a studio art focus.

And, a photography degree with a film production focus.

Yes, those would be possibilities too for someone with no credits. I think the reason I didn't do that was because I had credits all over the board including things like database management and emergency management that wouldn't fit into the art or photography electives. The liberal studies degree just offers a lot of flexibility on electives.

What did you pick for your capstone topic?

What did you pick for your capstone topic?

Rehabilitation of people who have experienced sex trafficking & exploitation. I compared funding in religious vs secular, types of housing & location, wrap-around services, and different therapy models like EMDR.

I started off in college already having a multi-year certificate of study in graphic design. I originally wanted to make 3D educational video games. Life happened though & my interests widened through my experiences.

Oh ok thanks. I thought maybe it was something related to graphics design or media. 
I plan to take the course in the new year and having a lot of difficulty deciding what to do it on.

Thanks all for your replies

I have another question. If a bachelors requires e.g A,B,C,D,X,Y,Z courses and another requires A,B,C,D,P,Q,R courses, will I have to do A,B,C,D again to get the second degree? Would I have to give the CLEP tests again?

I'm not sure, but I think they got rid of the LDAS. I wanted to do one, but they seemed to think my plans were poor.

No once is fine.

You generally don't have to re-take a course in a second degree, but there may be other restrictions in pursuing a second degree. Particularly with a second degree that is close enough to the first degree to have overlap in the AOS, or significant overlap outside of General Education courses. In fact, many schools will outright refuse to allow you to take a closely aligned second bachelors degree. Even without any other restrictions, some schools (like TESU for example) will also require a certain amount of new credits in the second degree that were earned after the first degree was conferred.

If you're interested in multiple degrees, its generally recommended to get the second degree in a different area than the first anyway, otherwise you're diluting the value you gain from the second degree. A completely different area shows breadth. If you want to show a depth of focus, I suggest either switching to a more focused degree to begin with, or consider a certificate (or a masters after completing the first degree).

You could perhaps do the TESU BALS, get a graphic design certificate, then go to WGU for the masters.

That would be a fairly quick route with maximum testing allowed.
