<p>I’m not sure if such thinking is necessarily confined to America, but on the whole, I agree. Most Ivy League colleges wouldn’t even take students seeking a 2nd degree → Columbia is the only one ! </p>
<p>I have 2 degrees (BFA + MA) in Design, but I want to go into Astronomy now, so I’m seeking a BsC. However, there are NO ivy league schools (save Columbia) that will allow this. Why this is the case, I don’t know.</p>
