You might need to take a few undergraduate courses to meet admissions requirements but there should be no need get another bachelors.  Just check with the school you want to go to.

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

Stick to education and get your degree.  Once you have your BA you can always go for a Master's in Business if you really want it.  If you are planning to start your own company, and it is related to the educational field then your degree will help. If you need to get a job and work for someone else for a while before you start your business, there are lots of jobs that are educationally related.\n\nIf you just want to keep going to school for a while, sure, switch it out and minor in education.  But whatever you choose to do, get your piece of paper.  Once you get out into the world, unless you are looking at technical jobs, you'll be surprised by how much the piece of paper means, but not what is on it.

Although there are some employers who don't check to see where a degree comes from, any employer who knows you received your degree from basically a "pay to graduate" school will not look at it favorably.  In this sense, it could be a waste of money.  Additionally, you will lack the contacts and references from attending university that tend to help you find a better job.  A better use of your money may be to use a "degree completion" program at your local community college.  You can start with the credits you earned from your two years of college and find out what the fastest degree to get is.  There are many opportunities for adults returning to school, and your life experience and job related achievements may help you even more on this front.  There are many grants, scholarships, and loan opportunities--and attending college does tend to pay off in terms of better earnings and more job security.  I wish you the best of luck!

Try visiting  www.discovernursing.com - you'll find tons of information there on nursing.\n\nDespite prior statements,  you do not need a BS to be an RN.   There are two-year RN programs and RN bridge programs for persons  who have an LPN/LVN.   The push MAY be for RNs to have a bachelor's degree,  but the  reality is that there is such a shortage of nurses  willing to work  in NURSING (yes, nurses work in  fields outside of active nursing),  that states/countries are creating  avenues to bring  in more  nurses quickly.\n\nWhat you can do with a nursing certificate/degree will depend upon the state/country you live in.  Generically, you could go back and do a 1 year nursing certificate program and become an LPN/LVN.  Or, you could pick up the sciences and other pre-reqs you need and complete a 2nd associates--the outcome could be an LPN/LVN or an RN depending upon the school/program you enter into.  Or, you could transfer to a university and pursue a bachelor's degree in nursing.

An Associate degree is a two year degree.  Some jobs only require this type of degree like LPN or medical assistant, some management positions etc.\n\nBS and BA are Bachelor's degrees, these are a four year degree. A BS stands for Bachelor of Science degree and BS stands for Bachelor of Arts Degree.  Although the titles are a bit different the only real difference between a BA and a BS is that a BA requires a foriegn language and BS doesn't.\n\nA Master's Degree is after the Bachelors. You can not pursue a Master's degree without a Bachelors.  Usually the Masters takes an additional two years of school past the four for a Bachelors and the classes are often offered in the evenings and part time since most people get a full time job with their Bachelor's and take their Master's courses around their schedule.\nA Phd is a Doctorate.  This is as high as you can go.  You have to have a Master's to pursue a Phd.  Most people take up to ten to twelve years to get their Phd degrees and in order to be awarded a Phd, the student must submit a "thesis" which is usually a very long, detailed report on the subject in which they are pursuing their degree.  Everyone that I know that has written a thesis has taken several years to complete it even though they were completely finished with their classes.

I suggest you take M.C.A. Now, M.B.A degrees are not that worth that it had been some years back. Moreover, M.C.A would be like a continuation (getting deeper into the subject) of your B.C.A degree.

Be aware of ITT Tech. Their commercials are very misleading and you are unlikely to get a job as they show on the commercials without another degree from another college. If you read the small print on the commercials you'll notice that those students went to ITT tech, then earned a bachelor and even masters other places. Be sure that they are regionally accredited.

not many but it will shorten your time getting the BS degree and now with the way things are going you will need a freeking Masters and by the time you get that you will need a freeking doctorate.  That's what happened to me, lol.  Good luck

"'A bachelor's degree is called a bachelor's degree because it won't get you paid enough money to be able to afford to get married' -- Nick Wilson", but seriously:\n\n"The college degree is called a "Bachelor's" degree after the original meaning of bachelor, which was a young apprentice. Since the Bachelor's is the first degree issued, coming before a Master's or Doctor's degree, that first degree became known as a Bachelor's degree."

If you can find a place that'll do without first having a Bachelor's, then go for it. Most schools require a B.S. first, however, in the U.K. that's not always the case. \n\nMore countries a starting to do this, however, as it's becoming a growing trend.

An Associates Degree is a 2 year college degree generally obtained from a junior college. A Bachelors Degree is a 4 year degree from a University. There is a major difference in the income level between an Associate Degree level job and a Bachelors Degree level job. Many jobs require a Bachelors Degree and won't even accept applications from those without the Bachelors Degree.

First of all, you are not right completely. More than 1% on the people in the world hold bachelors degree. I am not aware of your nationality, but there are many Bachelors degree holders in the world.\nMasters degree is not mandatory for all jobs.It depends on the position and type of job. Bachelors degree give an individual professional recognition and Masters degree gives specialisation.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree (4 years) and two associate degrees or (2 year) degrees.  In my case they have done me (zero) good.  A person with NO degrees what so ever was promoted ahead of me because she knew the big boss.  You can take that however you want. In most cases a degree WILL get you in the door or at least the employer will take a look at you.   Your chances are much better of getting the job.  Now if you are really good at kissing various parts of your bosses anatomy you will probably go very far other wise you'll have to wait in the basement with the rest of us smucks, degree or not.  Life can really suck at times...cold hard facts.

An Associate's (of Arts or Science) is not necessary to get a Bachelors degree.\n\nLet me explain it this way...\nStudent "A" just graduated high school and is admitted as a student at a 4-year university.  This university does not give Associate degrees, but only Bachelors.  So, "A" takes his/her GEs and major courses and graduates with a B.A. or B.S.\n\nStudent "B" just graduated high school, and gets admitted to a Community College.  The community college is a two-year institution which in completion of their program gets you an A.A. or A.S. and then "B" transfers his/her GE credits to a 4-year university as a Junior, and completes his/her degree in two more years to get a B.A. or B.S.\n\nNow, what you need to understand is that getting an Associate's. is not necessary to get a Bachelor's.  However, if you get an Associate's there will be some classes that DO NOT qualify as a transferrable GE units to a four-year university.  Say you graduate with an A.A. with 60 units, however 56 can only be transferred by the university's agreement with the Community College.\n\nBasically, if your goal is a Bachelor's, then consider an Associate's as a little gift from the community college before you leave for the university.  Sure, you need to take an extra few classes for it, but it's just a nice gift.

In most universities, if you can get a BA and a BS in the same degree path, the BS degree requires more math/science, and the BA degree has more electives.\n\nHowever they're still bachelor's degrees, so there isn't that much of a difference.

Even without knowing the rules at Columbia College for awarding dual degrees, I can say with near certainty that a minor is not enough for one. It's with double MAJORS that some schools might offer a second degree, but others don't.\n\nCheck what Columbia offers in the way of recognizing minors. Some schools don't even recognize those. It's just a matter, in many cases, of seeing all those electives in one particular subject that communicates your proficiency in that area.
