How do you go about getting a 2nd bachelor's?
#1
I'm currently in the process of completing my 1st bachelor's degree at TESC and should be done relatively soon; however, I've seen and read people having a 2nd bachelor's degree.

Is it the same as just getting 36 credits to complete your master's ? How many more credits is a 2nd bachelor's degree?
#2
You will need at least 24 new credits, and in most cases more than that (see the Area of Study requirements for the desired second degree); however, getting 36 grad level credits is a longer and more difficult process than getting a second bachelor's from TESC when you already have one.

I am trying to do this now. In my case I had fulfilled all of the are of study requirements for Natural Science except for 6CR 300 level and up.
So now that I have graduated with my BSBA I need to get those 6 300 level credits plus 18 more credits in my area of study (to replace some of those that are already there in my case) with no more than 6 in 100 level.

So for me its:
6 100 level
12 200+ level
6 300 level
BSBA CIS from TESC, BA Natural Science/Math from TESC
MBA Applied Computer Science from NCU
Enrolled at NCU in the PhD Applied Computer Science

Wouldn't getting 36 " more/other" credits qualify you for a masters? Atleast that is what I see at TESC, although it does depend on the courses...
#5
They would have to be graduate credits and you would have to get accepted to the program and take certain required graduate courses and graduate elective courses. Graduate courses are usually somewhat more difficult than undergrad courses, with especially a lot more to read and a lot more writing to do.
