Anyone go back for a second (more useful) degree at UB?
Basically title.
I graduated a while back with a BA in bio in 2019, I originally wanted to do ChemE after taking a few electives in engineering but I was already a super senior and didn't want to add more time. I have been working a meh job, it's related in my field but there's really no advancement and the only way to move up is to move to Boston or SF, which I don't want to do.
Perhaps it's a symptom of my unc status - reminiscing on the past, but I recently checked the UB flow sheet for engineering and it seems I could finish in about two years as I took all the engineering math classes (calc III, diff, linear) after graduating (I had a brief moment where I considered going back for a CS degree but found out I hated debugging software).
I spoke with some advisor in the school of engineering a few months ago and he told me that basically any class under 200 I would not need to retake, things taken after my bachelor's would count as long as they weren't applied for another degree program.
Has anyone done this? For me, I think it's past the point of wishful thinking and into the "I have seriously considered this" realm. The only sad part is that I am turning 31 soon so I feel I am on a time crunch. I do feel the chemE degree would help augment the bio degree, as I worked with a bioprocessing division at my old job and liked the bioreactor stuff they did. Sadly you NEEDED an ABET engineering degree to transfer or apply.
