Generally No, you are not required to get another 60 gen ed credits to earn a second bachelors. Usually you just need whatever the set number of credits the school wants for you to earn a Bachelors in lets say Accounting. No one would be going back for a second bachelors degree if they had to earn another 120 credits, why wouldn't you just go get a PhD for that amount of effort.
I know at TESU you only need 24 additional credits in whatever AoS you want your second degree in. I am not 100% sure on that number and its probably 12-18 that need to be UL as well. I am actually considering a second bachelors over a Masters because of cost and time to earn.
I have never heard of anyone earning a Bachelor's degree at lets say TESU and then a second bachelors somewhere else (I'm not saying this isn't doable just never heard of it). This was something I was looking into but the school I was considering hasn't gotten back to me yet.
