Earlier today I was reading about the SFSU career changer postbac, and I noticed a little fine print that I hadn't been made aware of beforehand:
Since all of my postbac options (SFSU, Mills and Scripps) are either a) two years, b) exceed the maximum unsub federal loan for one year or c) both, I'm trying to explore other avenues since financial aid is really the only thing that makes going to school possible for me, and private loans are out of the question (bad credit).
Reading this made me start looking into other options, and I'm wondering if someone can fill me in on the pros and cons, academically and financially, of pursuing a second baccalaureate degree. Right now, since I can do the unsub loans, AND tuition is cheaper than a postbac, this seems like the more financially appealing option to me, although postbac is more academically and intellectually appealing.
Right now, I'm looking at CSUEB program because it's close, the tuition is cheap (lower than the unsub Stafford limit), and they accept second bac students.
I'm also wondering if there are Master's programs like the SMP, but for career changers?
