I had been looking at completing a second bachelor's degree through Thomas Edison and I see that their catalog has changed since I graduated as the Natural Science/Mathematics degree is now a Liberal Studies degree. As my first degree was Liberal Studies, I believe I am not eligible to complete another one so am considering the pure Mathematics degree.
I am sure that this thread it too old for my comment to matter anymore, and if so I apologize for the "phorum necromancy", but I just wanted to add a point here as this topic is relatively rare. I do not know what the policy is nowadays (2017) but when I inquired with Thomas Edison (which was still TESC at the time) they were very clear about a 2nd bachelor's not coming from the same school. TESU has a number of schools within it: Heavin, School of Business and Management, Edwards, etc. You can't get a 2nd bachelor's within the same school, on top of the other restrictions.
Liberal Studies and Mathematics are both under Heavin. You can't do both at all (unless they've changed that policy). I called them to clarify this point as I was getting a bachelor's from Excelsior but was still interested in a 2nd bachelor's from Thomas Edison. There didn't seem to be any hesitation or confusion on their end: yes, I could get a 2nd one but it could not come from anything under Heavin's auspices (in addition to all the other restrictions).
