I would like to go a degree in theater and accept business grade and interim classes to be in Casting for the entertainment industry. Im however trying to figure out a back up plan career, but my main goal is to complete all of my core classes, "full general ed classes". So if I completed all of my general ed classes and Casting doesnt really work out and me having to come up with another career. Would I have to complete the general ed classes again? To get a degree for some other career?

I've often wondered. If what you lot want to study could be done as a masters, then no. If what yous want to report has to be a bachelor'south, then I don't know. At the very least, your full general ed volition be aligned with their checklist for conformance. I know that certain schools do NOT allow 2d bachelors in some fields, if at all. Perhaps someone with "hands on" knowledge will weigh in.

I don't have any hands on knowledge, simply as with all of this stuff, Information technology DEPENDS, It DEPENDS, It DEPENDS. It depends on the college and their policies.

It really does depend. If it'due south a second degree at the same academy, or in many cases the same state, and so probably not. Otherwise it's upwards to the second university to determine which gen ed courses transfer.

Some schools won't allow you to get a second bachelors if yous take completed one already. Information technology might be better planning to get a second major now-business or something, and less expensive.

It might be better planning to get a second major at present-business organisation or something, and less expensive. In CA, the UC organisation does not desire to hand out second bachelor degrees. Withal, I believe those are available at the CSU arrangement. In most good state schools with a lot of applicants for spots, they don't want people coming through around another time. That's what people who majored in something else who then wanted a science caste did, in order to go to dental or medical school.

That's what people who majored in something else who and then wanted a scientific discipline degree did, in guild to go to dental or medical school. Not trying to be contrarian, but let's say someone majored in history and wanted to go into nursing after a few years of doing nothing in the workforce. Bold the UC system is more than prestigious and has a better placement rate for its graduates and reputation among other univeristies, under your scenario, the UC graduate cannot come up back to the principal organisation and has to go to a 2nd-tier system to proceeds that second bachelor's, which doesn't take every bit strong of a reputation amidst other universities and has a weaker placement rate among employers? Under most atmospheric condition, I don't encounter how a person would exist meliorate served getting a 2d available'southward under such a scheme versus doing nothing at all. If a person wants to study at the graduate level in a field, frequently they have to have a available's in that field or a closely related field every bit a condition of admission into the program. If a person cannot easily become back for the 2d bachelor's, or has to get to a poorly regarded school to do so, the benefits of retraining seem almost nil. A system in which prior mistakes can hardly be corrected is a very poor one to entrust our welfare to.

To get a degree for another career? While there is much overlap in distribution of the gen ed courses, what college A requires and allows is probably not going to be the aforementioned as what colleges B, C, and F crave and allow. When I transferred, my new university had a communications requirement that my onetime university did not, and my one-time academy required iii semesters of English and while the new academy only required two. Each academy has its own requirements. When you enter a new school, you still have to meet their requirements in guild to graduate. In full general, though, this probably would not amount to more than an boosted ii courses of gen ed.
