Multidisciplinary. Transferring Multiple degrees. Top schools? Any chance?

I was referring to how with only 60 hours transferred, I’d have to retake the rest of that bachelor’s degree, usually around 128 hours.

<p>You say that you will soon have 170 units, I’m assuming that is on the qt system and so would be close to 4 years of study. I think your larger problem is going to be that like UCB, most schools will not accept you with so many units. You can find this out for sure on the websites of the colleges you’re interested in, for instance Y says:</p>

<p>[Who</a> is Eligible to Transfer? | Transfer Students | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions”>Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions)</p>

<p>“To be eligible to transfer, students must by June of the current academic year, have a high school diploma or GED, and at least one year and no more than two years of transferable post-secondary-school college credit.”</p>

<p>

Is it possible for someone to enroll in more than one master’s program simultaneously?

</p>

<p>Maybe there are exceptions, but in general people do not do double Masters like they do double majors for undergrad.</p>

<p>

Or, even better, enroll in a master’s program and take undergrad classes?</p>

<p>What I’m worried about is having to take my first two years of basics again. I’m concerned that going for a master’s and taking undergrad courses (if even allowed), since applying for an advanced degree is not technically transferring, would mean having to take things like Engish Comp and whatnot again. I never found anywhere that told how this part of getting a master’s degree works.

</p>

<p>Once you get your Bachelor’s degree, you are finished with your first two years of basic requirements, you’ll never need to do them again. Sometimes people take undergrad coursework while doing a Master’s, however, this usually occurs because they have changed fields somewhat from their Bachelor’s and have some deficiencies in their new field, not because they are taking basic distributional requirements again. For instance, I got a BA in Anthropology, when I went for a Master’s in Forestry (after working extensively in that field), I took some undergrad science and statistics courses to get “up to speed” on things pertaining to my new field which I hadn’t done as an undergrad.</p>

<p>

Better yet, are there even any chances of getting into the master’s program of a good school after getting a bachelor’s from a low-tier school?

</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible to go to a more selective university for grad school. Now, whether or not you are able to jump from UNA to MIT is another question, as you’re talking about schools that are difficult for anyone to get into, no matter where they went for undergrad. It is possible, but it depends on your grades, LORs, activities, work experience, etc.</p>
