BS in Homeland Security and Emergency Management as a second BS - twt - 07-10-2012
I am completing a BSBA General and I am interested how many additional courses I need to complete to also receive a BS HSEM. I am building a degree plan to figure that out.
As long as my English, Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Science, and Gen Ed electives are met by the BSBA I only have to take the Area of Study, Area of Study Electives, and Free electives... is that correct?
Also, free electives can not count towards both degrees right? I need to have enough free elective credits to cover both?
Thank You!

If I finish my BSBA on time I'm looking into BA Psych or Soc. and I was told that I would need 24 new credits.
As stated elsewhere on the forums some advisers advice may conflict another ,but depending on the degree chosen I believe its 24-30.
When I do the online evaluation to see which courses I need for 2nd degree, I think it ended up being like 27 that I needed for Soc. (area of study/ soc elec.)
Your free electives can be used again, but keep in mind that technically you can't start earning credits until your first degree is conferred. So if you took 3-4 classes now that were supposed to be for your 2nd degree and then first degree was conferred they wouldn't be considered new credits.
So for my BA in Soc. technically I have to wait until my BSBA is conferred in Sept then I can start classes for next degree.

That is very helpful... I would have started taking the other credits but will wait now. Thanks!

:coolgleam: Keep in mind you can still study or if you plan ahead you may be able to come up with a loophole
hehe ,but of course everything down that path could be a tad risky.Spelled out a little clearer. Your mileage may very ,but depending on how / where you take a course sometimes the only information sent is when it was completed...... Not when it was started. :reddevil:
