Post-degree options???

[TrailRunr]

That context helps a lot. If you are going directly to a MA program without prereqs like the WGU MBA, then yeah any degree will do and the BALS is very fast. If the jobs you typically go for in your previous career just require any paper, then yeah BALS works.

But if you are spending money on another 24 credits with another $1500 capstone without getting a job with your BALS before the 2nd BA, it's better to just change your major. And money is an issue for you and most of us too. I'm really, really struggling with how you would benefit from a 2nd bachelor since it doesn't sound like you are getting a job right away.

Before I completed my TESU degree with the double major, I did a what-if and changed to Liberal Studies and the old BA-NSM. I would be done if I switched to either option. It's real tempting to just switch to the instant degree just to get the paper today. But in the long run, it would be better to switch to the major you want for the 2nd BA and avoid graduating. If you switch to a specific major and enjoy gathering credits, you can get a double major by delaying graduation a little bit more. You can't double major with the generalized BALS.
