Requirements for each school may differ slightly, here's an example, if I take a Business Management degree at Penn Foster and all their courses are ACE recommended for credit, you can transfer that to an RA school such as COSC if it meets all the requirements for the degree and be complete with your COSC BSBA by taking the final 6 credits from COSC - their cornerstone and capstone.  But why would you want duplicating degrees?

Again, this is possible, but if it was me, I would rather use the money from the cost of paying tuition for the cornerstone/capstone into say an MBA from Walden since they've got a 50% off the life of their program right now for many degree programs that they are offering.
Why everybody always worry about how people want to spend their money? A second degree is a second degree. It can be in a total different area from the first one and applicable towards a different career. A master degree can only build upon the type of bachelor degree he or she already has so pretty much useless if a person wants to change career. And much more expensive as well.

It looks to me like bjcheung was talking about getting a bachelor degree in business management from Penn Foster, then doing a little dance to also get a bachelor degree in business administration from COSC. Yes, a second degree is a second degree, but BM and BA are so similar I don't get why one would bother?

As for a 2nd bachelor degree, look at bjcheung's signature. I hardly think he's about bashing the idea. Also, I think the guy has like 400 undergrad credits  Tongue
