<p>If I am to get a B.A in the spring, can I still apply as a transfer to another school using my community college transcript from 2 years ago? I plan on getting my degree here and get another one from another school.</p>
<p>It doesn’t work that way. You need to report all the schools you went to if they ask for it, or they will throw your application and possibly denied you from their school in the future. Sorry, you’re too ashamed to show your actual grade from the school you’re getting your BA.</p>
<p>Yes, you can complete a second Bachelor’s degree at another university. I know many people who have done this sort of thing (including a Ph.D. in History who went back to school for an Associate of Science in Horticulture at the local community college). </p>
<p>However:</p>
<p>1) You will need to provide copies of all transcripts from all community colleges, colleges, and universities that you have attended to date. You cannot conceal the B.A. that you are completing right now.</p>
<p>2) Some colleges/universities will not admit you as a transfer if you have that many credits.</p>
<p>3) The only financial aid that is likely to be available is unsubsidized federal loans.</p>
<p>4) If you are making a career change that requires a graduate degree, it may make more sense to pick up the courses required for grad school admission in that field under a “non-degree” or “special student” status. You might be able to do this in a year or less, whereas a second Bachelor’s degree will most likely require a full two years at the new college/university.</p>
<p>Some schools will accept you for a second UG degree. Technically this is not called a “transfer”, that terminology is just for first UG degrees.</p>
<p>I want to get into a top business program. Nothing wrong with my current degree as ele suggested. On track for cum laude at Michigan but I really want a business degree.</p>
<p>Why not just apply for MBA programs? I’m no expert on business, but I expect that’s more useful than a straight up bachelor’s degree, would take less time, and would be more flexible to allow you to work while you earn it, if finances are going to be an issue (keeping in mind the total lack of financial aid for second degree candidates, as happymomof1 noted).</p>
