TESU - 4 Undergrad Degree Limit? - Thorne - 06-10-2017
Just curious, does this limit apply to all undergraduate degrees or just those issued from TESU? I'm thinking about running after another Associate's on my way to a second Bachelor's (through TESU) once I get through WGU, but I'll have 3 undergraduate degrees at that point.

You know, you're running on thin ice, I recall reading that as well, and the answer I reckon is, 4 degrees total...
Not just by TESU, but total for RA schools, NA however doesn't have this restriction, if I recall that info correctly.

Ffffff......
I even asked my advisor about hard limits that the school or accreditation agency had. She said there were no problems (hence why I went after two degrees instead of just one plus a certificate). If this is true, I'll need to prioritize a ton. Then again, there are always graduate programs and NA schools to pursue.

I've never heard of a universal limitation; it's up to the school. TESU has a limit of two bachelors degrees and two associates degrees. Excelsior allows three bachelors degrees. There's a guy with 14 associates degrees from various CCs in Texas. There is also the guy with 23 masters degrees.

What's the purpose of so many degrees?

If only I lived in Texas or California!
(I am also bummed that I can't get the WUE tuition rate at Rio Salado, and out of state is so much more.)

The guy with the 14 associates degrees is mentally ill, which can easily be determined by his lawsuits against a college and the Air Force. He also lives with his parents even though he looks to be in his late 30s or 40s. Most of his degrees are a variation of criminal justice or business administration. The man with 23 masters degrees (could be more now) has earned them for free by working at universities. It would be more of an interesting hobby if most of his degrees weren't in education.

Keeping in mind that an associate's degree represents the lowest level of learning (100/200 level credit), holding a bachelor's degree demonstrates deeper level of learning (300/400 level credit) while a masters represents the highest level learner (500/600). A Doctorate represents the transition from learner to [U]contributor [/U]in the field through a project or thesis.
I'm not trying to talk anyone out of or into a degree, but accumulating degrees under your current level of knowledge is a bit like collecting multiple high school diplomas. If you have the capability, my suggestion is to move up the ladder instead of changing ladders.
