does second bachelor mean no transfer credits?

<p>second bachelor degree means start from scratch right? that means transfer credits is not needed, at least that's my understanding.</p>

<p>I attended Columbia University to obtain a second bachelor’s degree. GS accepted 60 of my undergraduate credits from my first degree so I started as a junior.</p>

<p>that’s a transfer not a 2nd degree…
what if i don’t want to transfer my old credits?</p>

<p>Either I am not understanding your question or I am answering your question and you don’t understand me.</p>

<p>I have a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from another university. I returned to Columbia to obtain a second bachelor’s degree in a totally different field. GS accepted 60 of my credits from my first bachelor’s degree and applied them to my second bachelor’s degree at Columbia. I saved a lot of money at Columbia with this second bachelor’s degree because I began my career at the university with sixty credits already applied.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to use your credits and want to take an additional two years of classes, go right ahead.</p>

<p>If you’re so inclined, you can start from scratch.</p>

<p>Really Hellojan? My advisor wasn’t so sure about this though</p>

<p>I imagine it’s a very uncommon request.</p>

<p>Can I ask, why is it important that you NOT transfer credits? Especially when you consider that it could save you over $60k?</p>

<p>Especially if you don’t need to take the core classes again.</p>
