TESU Second Bachelors

[decisive1]

Hello everyone, have been following the forum and first time posting. After recently completing my Bachelor Arts in Liberal Studies (Computer Science concentration) from TESU I decided I would take another 6 months and apply for a second degree. 

The degree of Bachelor of Science Business Administration (Computer Information Systems) made sense because a lot would transfer and just needed a number of business courses to complete the degree. 

The requirements state that you must complete atleast new 24 credits in the area of study and/or core of the degree. These new 24 courses must be earned after the date of graduation, but as far as I understand it this doesn't exclude any previously completed courses.

Second Baccalaureate Degree
Students who have received one baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a second baccalaureate degree must:

• Complete a minimum of 24 credits including the required capstone for the degree. These credits must be in the area of study and/or core of the degree. These credits must be earned after the date the most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.
  
• Additionally, students must complete all other degree requirements as listed in the current Thomas Edison State University Catalog.
  

After applying I received a notification that none of the computer science or computer information systems courses previously used in the area of study for the first degree could be applied to the second degree. Does anyone have experience with this?
