Personal Enrichment Question
#2
(10-15-2023, 01:24 PM)Jocon Wrote: I  have submitted the following questions to Jessica but knowing how busy she is currently with the deadline approaching's i figured Id ask the community incase any of you have the answers. 


  1. In regards to getting multiple bachelor's degrees, how do the credits work? For example, if I wanted to finish my Bachelor of History and poly sci and then get a BABA, would the general ed and the electives be already fulfilled?
  2. How would this be different if doing them concurrently?
  3. How many Bachelor’s degrees can one earn? I have 2 in mind, however, UMPI has several topics programs that I find super interesting and want to learn solely for personal enrichment (and I understand after the 2nd bachelor's that financial aid no longer applies). 
  4. Do they need to be completed concurrently or can they be done consecutively?
  5. If done Consecutively will any general ed or electives need to be repeated or done in addition to?
  6. Is there a limit to the BA’s I can earn if I am paying out of pocket after the second conferral?
  7. Does the Yourpace program plan to add other options to the Graduate program?
  8. If doing additional BAs keeping in mind the 30 credit residency requirement for degree conferment, at what point would I need or plan to submit external credits?
  9. So the BA of History and Poly Sci has concentrations of History or Poly Sci:

    Can I obtain a BA with a concentration of History and then a second BA with a concentration of Poly Sci? -OR- Can I obtain a BA with a double concentration in both?
  10. I would use the times between terms such as the holiday breaks to continue working on external alternative credits if possible to ensure that I continue learning such as SLPLLC, SDC, SL.   
     
  11. If I wanted to obtain a BA in each program that is offered (not saying I would) would that be possible aside from the BLS?
Man, she 100% does not have the time to answer all of these lol

I can sum it up for you.

-You can get multiple degrees as long as you meet the major requirements. Gen eds are covered after the first go-around. If you have interests, just take classes where you see fit. Interests don't ALWAYS need to result in a degree.

-No active plans for more grad degrees right now per my discussion with UMPI staff. WGU has more options.

-No, you pick your History and Poli Sci concentration. You are free to take as many classes as you want, but the degree is going to have one concentration and the diploma will look the same regardless. 

It's all well and good to get multiple degrees but when you apply for jobs and have 4 BAs from the same uni, it's going to raise some eyebrows about the quality of education. Don't be that guy. I like the gusto but its easy to have gusto before you start.
