Just Finished at Excelsior! BS Liberal Arts. Need guidance for the next degree
#4
I'm pretty sure you will have to disclose your degree to TESC. If you don't, and they find out, it's called fraud. I wouldn't take the chance personally.

Instead, you would have to get a second degree:

"Second Bachelor’s Degree
If you have earned a previous baccalaureate degree, and wish to pursue a second, you must complete a minimum of 24 additional credits in the area of study/core beyond the date your most recent undergraduate degree was completed. You must also complete all the degree requirements indicated in the Thomas Edison State College Catalog."

Also, you will have to take a Capstone through TESC for those degrees, you can't transfer in a capstone from another school. It may count towards a degree, but it won't count as your TESC capstone.

If you're going to get an MBA anyway (which isn't related to any of these degrees), why wouldn't you just continue on, rather than trying to get a different degree at this late date? I worked in HR for years, we did not think that a degree in Natural Sciences and Math was special, it just meant that you took more courses in that instead of Humanities or Social Sciences. It was still considered a fairly generic degree, rather than specific. Nothing wrong with it, but that's just how it was looked upon. A degree in Engineering or Computer Science or something like that might make a difference depending on the job, but definitely not Liberal Arts vs. Natural Sciences.

If I were you, I would start taking any pre-reqs for the MBA and move on into that degree plan. It makes the most sense.
