Thinking of getting a second TESC BA degree...

[Getiton1]

Hi All,

Okay, so in case anyone didn't know I am an RN that is started my InstantCert/CLEP journey with TESC just about a year ago. The plan was to bang out a ton of CLEP's,apply and get into TESC's Bachelors of Science in Nursing and take things from there. I did all that, and I am just shy of getting my BSN by 2 TESC courses and the dreaded math course. I didn't get my Math done in time to register for January Semester, which means I can't take my next class till April 2014. SO, just for kicks, I decided to plug in a BA degree in Humanities option at the TESC Student Services website. I love all the arts and if I wasn't a nurse, I would like have gone into interior decorating. This is what came up:
