TESU 2nd Area of Study

[Merlin]

I'm so glad you decided to ask the complicated questions because now I know not to start taking courses that will apply to my future psych degree. I still don't understand why you have to wait until after you finish your first degree in order to start working towards the second. 

Could you work towards one degree at TESU while working on another degree at one of the other Big 3? Like would your psych-related free electives for a history degree at school #1 apply towards a psych degree at school #2?

If you're working towards two degrees from the same "school" to be conferred during the same graduation cycle (like a BA in History and BA in Psychology), then you don't have to wait and come back after you finish the same degree. You can do both at the same time. Coming back for the second degree only applies if you're trying to get two degrees from two different "schools" within TESU. Like a BA in Psychology at the same time as a BSBA.

While it is possible to work on two different degrees simultaneously at two different colleges, most colleges explicitly disallow it. Presumably, so people cannot double-dip on their credits. Most colleges are the same in requiring students to earn new credits between conferral of an earlier degree and any new degree, regardless of where the first degree was earned. I imagine it is part of their accreditation requirements.
