Having Two Bachelor's Degrees

I'm currently pursuing my bachelor's degree but I'm interested in another field as well. I'm considering getting a second bachelor's after I finish my first. Does anyone have experience with this or know if it's possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible and even somewhat common to pursue a second bachelor's degree after finishing your first. This is often referred to as being a "post-baccalaureate" or "second degree" student.

The process to apply is somewhat similar to when you applied for your first bachelor's degree: you'll need to submit a new application to the institution offering the program in the field you're interested in. However, second degree students often face different admission requirements. For example, the minimum GPA might be higher for second degree applicants than first-time undergraduates, because colleges expect you to have a more solid academic background upon your re-entry.

It's important to consider the additional time and financial implications a second degree will have - completing another bachelor's could take another two to four years, depending on how many of your credits can transfer over to the new program.Before going this route, think about whether a master's degree might be a more cost-effective and timely approach to gaining advanced knowledge your field of interest. A master's degree is more specialized, and some fields value master's degrees more than a second bachelor's.

Also, make sure to at-least discuss your ideas with a career counselor to explore other potentially better options based on your personal situation, interests and career aspirations. It's always good to seek advice and consider all alternatives before making such a big commitment. Good luck with your decision-making and future endeavors!
