1) Basically, If you go for a 2nd BA, you pay a residency waiver and a second graduation fee.
If you haven't done the required 16 credits residency for the first degree, this will be expensive.
2) Also you need a minimum of 24 newer credits in the AOS after conferral of previous Bachelors.
All previously used credits that are lower level and upper level can't be used in the AOS, it has to be new credits.
Essentially, if you have some upper level courses that can go towards the second degree, if you graduate the first degree, these can't be used. For example, you have close to 114 credits towards a BALS and 114 credits towards the BSBA, get them both at the same time, otherwise you'll be taking more courses than necessary and it'll take you longer to get that second degree, by waiting for a term or two, you can get both instead, it saves you energy, money, time in the long run! This is just an example, it could be a BA in English and a BA in History, you're looking at, the same rule applies...
Sorry, can I clarify: you can double major? And only pay one residency waiver? I had no idea TESU allowd that, I thought I would have to do them sequentially lol. If I can avoid paying the fees twice that would be excellent.
