Greetings,

I have a question that might best be answered by some of you fellow non-trads. I completed a BScN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) and finished with a 2.7. I debated on doing a DIY post bacc but it seems low-yield at this time. I have 124 credits and would need 12+ courses at >3.7 to raise my GPA up to above a 3.0. That being said I want to start over with a new UG degree, preferably 2-3 years in duration. Does anybody have experience with this?

Thanks

I don’t, but thinking about it because that route allows me to get a degree and complete my per reqs. 3 years for not even earning a degree(post bacc) is a hard pill to swallow. Then the cost of it. I hate the idea of using a private loan so my husband is insisting on paying for my $300per credit hour courses out of pocket. Makes taking classes at the local cc look so so tempting.

I did it. You can use the search bar to read what I've written about that in the past.
Were there any specific questions you have about doing a 2nd bacc?
