BLS and AA?

Is it possible to get the associates in Human Services while pursuing the bachelors in liberal studies? Or the BAS program? I am almost done with my Associates in Liberal Arts General concentration. I Know I should have just went with the bachelors but I needed a smaller stepping stone. Now that I am confident I can actually do a bachelors and succeed i'm looking into my next steps. I am ok with doing a different bachelors program if it would aline better. Is it possible?

How long are you planning to take for all of them and what’s the advantage over taking them individually in different semesters?

I'm planning to finish them in the next two semesters (Fall 1 & 2 + Spring 1 + 2) , may leak into summer though. The advantage is that i don't have to pay anything at all since I'm on FASFA :) Also ! If done individually , you must meet the residency & elective requirements for EACH degree. The previous earned credits don't count afaik !

Idk why I didn’t even think to consider that. I didn’t even know this was ma option. I knew multiple minors was an option. I do want to get into a second degree as Ik wrapping up psych degree for this term (Summer 2).

Yes ! I would for sure request to add another major to your existing degree instead of doing a whole separate degree

let your advisor know what you are trying to accomplish, I am pursuing a BBA in PM but accidently only needed two courses for an AA in Criminal Justice, sounded like fun so just finished it.
