So I have pretty much reached the end of my degree with Excelsior's Bachelors of Science in National Security thanks to Sophia and Coopersmith. With my previous Associates, military training, and prior ACE credits starting this journey I only needed around 30 credits to meet the requirements. I was able to complete these while working full-time from home and in between three 8-week courses with the college itself and started in June. I will be taking my capstone during the Fall II semester and apply for graduation in December. I was approved for an MPA program with Excelsior through the Veterans Administrations Chapter 31 Voc Rehab and but will be applying to take it with Norwich University's online program instead. It's pretty difficult to get the VA to approve the masters, I was definitely excited about it but now I just want to change the school which I assume will be its own headache.
I was thinking, I've been approved for the MPA and wont have to pay for it since it will be funded by the VA. Since I only needed to use 30 credits from Sophia and Coopersmith for my BNS I still have a lot more credit that I am potentially leaving on the table. At this point I would have to pay for the subscription services but would it make sense for me comparatively to go back and try for say a BSBA? If so, I'm assuming I would have to start from scratch right? I dont believe I could dually apply credit from one degree to another.
Any pointers, advise, or assistance here would be great thanks.
