Bobbi Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Say you weren't satisfied with your education or where your major could take you. So, you return to your alma mater for another bachelor's degree. Who here has actually done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatrehippie Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Haven't done it, but make sure that your alma mater allows it. Mine will not award second bachelor's degrees, though I know others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJK Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Do you need a whole new BA/BS? Why not just take the minimum course work that will give you the expertise/skills you are looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teelee Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 My friend went to college first time and got a BA in social science but did not do well (GPA 2.4). She went back to the same college and got a BS in microbiology (GPA 3.9), however, they combined both GPA together (final GPA was 3.1). You need to be aware of the school policy on second degree. Even though the record from the first and second degree were almost 5 years apart, they still combined the GPA. She is now attending graduate school from the same university with full funding (I think NSF fellowship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
