Couple things- if you go with liberal arts first, your only choices for a second degree are business, technical studies, or nursing. If you go with math/nat science first, your choices include anything from the humanities or social science.
You can't get 2 degrees if you graduate, that ends your first enrollment and you pay a graduation fee. This works if you go from an associate to bachelor, but with your bachelor to bachelor you're going to need to do a double major or get 1 degree.
IMO this is a bad, long, expensive idea. This is not why so many go for a second bachelors, in fact, I don't know that so many do. I can probably count the people here (who have done that) on my fingers.
Ooooohhh! I see. Now I must look like a dumb-dumb. I was thinking the enrollment fee was just covered for an entire year, regardless if I graduated with a BA, Liberal Studies.
This is why I wanted a BA, Liberal Studies. I thought it was something I could finish quickly and then take my time completing a "better" BA while within my enrollment period. I thought I could finish that and pretty much go for any other BA after that. Argh, so complicated. Just when I think I figured out something brililant, there ends up being a ton of rules to it.
I just thought I could finish a BALS quicker than my NatSci/Math degree and then just take my time completing that. The LS CLEP choices are "easier", per se and I thought I could graduate a "semester" early.
Well Yen, looks like I'll just be sticking to my one major and looking at a graduation of December (at earliest). I guess I will just continue to temp until then and job seek later on.
