Texas A&M University-Commerce competency based degree

Well heck, this is interesting…
In some small print at the bottom of the curriculum for the BAAS in Organizational Leadership, it says…

“Second Bachelor's Degree in BAAS-Organizational Leadership

For students who have already acquired a Bachelor’s degree and are seeking a 2nd Bachelor’s degree in BAAS-Organizational Leadership, the following courses need to be completed:  ORGL 3311; ORGL 3321; ORGL 3322; ORGL 3331; ORGL 3332; ORGL 4341; ORGL 4343; ORGL 4342; ORGL 4352; ORGL 4361.”

So, if I understand this correctly, those of us who already have a bachelors in something would just have to take those 10 classes. That is VERY attractive.  

Here’s the page where I found that…. http://catalog.tamuc.edu/undergrad/colle...1622205425

So 30 credits. Just like UMPI and Excelsior. UMPI requires you to complete 30 credits at UMPI for a second bachelor's degree. Excelsior requires an additional 30 UL credits after your first bachelor's degree is completed. Seems like many schools are very similar when it comes to a second bachelor's degree.

Yes, 30 credits. Except, with UMPI, I’d still have to grab a few alternate credits to fill in some blanks before I get down to the 30 credits.

When I looked in to Excelsior, they wouldn’t even talk to me about a second bachelors.  They kept trying to sell me on the MBA even though I told them I’m not at all ready for that.

For UMPI's 2nd bachelor's, you do not need to fill in any blanks, assuming you mean GEC courses? Because those are waived, as are the Free Electives.  You just need 30cr, in your major/minor/concentration.  Obviously if you just do an 18cr minor or something, the remaining 12cr can be in whatever, as long as you meet the UL requirements (so those extras might include a few UL courses).


EC does not like 2nd bachelor's degrees at all, so I wouldn't even bother.
