<p>Hello all.... my major currently is economics.... im almost graduated, and i have alot of math classes as well.. all the pre reqs---- is it possible to graduate, and then go back to school for engineering if one wanted to??</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>The problem you’ll run into is that most (all?) schools limit you to using a credit towards only one degree, meaning that if you use Calc I towards your BS in econ, you cannot use that class towards a BS in engineering. You’ll need to talk to the registrar at your school to see how they will manage the credits.</p>
<p>So Jeremy are you talking about going back to the same school after graduation? If yes, alot of dept ,especially engineering, change their policies every so often to keep up with the advancement in technology. For me, I received my BS in BMET at Devry (thankfully it was ABET accredited) and applied at U of H for EE. My general courses like ENG, PSY, HIS, transferred over without any problems but the major ones like math, science and electronics did not. I asked why and they told me its because they like their students to learn their major courses from the school’s professors. I also think it depends on if its a public or private school. U of H is a public school but still had to do some negotiating. I think what also helped me out is that Im a disabled vet.</p>
<p>hmm i see… im preety sure in the state of florida where i attend school… all the prefixes provided they match up … ie. mac2313 or whatever… are transferable to other school in florida… i might be wrong but im preety sure im correct…</p>
<p>Still, you should contract the registrar at the school you intend to go to. It’s very likely that they will not accept many of the credits already applied to another bachelor’s degree. There usually has to be a special circumstance in place for this to occur (for example, 3/2 programs that simultaneously award degrees from two colleges). </p>
<p>We had this discussion in the BS Chemistry / Chemical Engineering thread when we discussed why Chemical Engineers aren’t able to also earn a Chemistry degree after a few extra classes.</p>
<p>Yeah, most schools (just about all) will not give you two degrees out of the same 120 semester/180 quarter credits. You will have to extra a number of additional credits just to qualify for a 2nd bachelors.</p>
<p>I was 4 courses away from a B.S. in Computer Science but Michigan State was like “We don’t care if you take the additional 4 courses…you are NOT getting another degree unless we get 30 more semester credits out of you.”</p>
<p>Hello , I want to check for my sister who is planning to apply for bachelors in BMET from Devry. is it worth to get jobs or admission for MS in public university? Any feedback or opinions appreciated?</p>
<p>Engineering technology is not the same as engineering; in many cases, the math and physics courses are less in-depth, so rather little of the curriculum will transfer to an engineering major or fulfill prerequisites for MS or PhD study in engineering.</p>

<p>This seems bizarre. I understand it in the cases of not using a math or econ class as a technical elective or something like that if it was used for the econ or math major, but not being able to double count a pre-requisite class like Calc 1 makes no sense at all. I doubt any “normal” school would have an issue with that. If nothing else, I know it’s not a problem at Michigan. What would they have him do, retake Calc 1? </p>

<p>Michigan doesn’t have any specific requirement like that in most cases (I think doing 2 EECS majors requires a total of 142 credits instead of 128, but that’s the only case I’ve heard of) but I think the other requirements create that on their own. </p>
