    Here is a challenge to the forum.

    I have three bachelor degrees. I am accumulating undergraduate credits in (European) history and German foreign language. I have several undergraduate history credits from CLEP and DSST. UMUC will only allow a second bachelor degree. TESC denied my request for a third bachelor.

    I would like to challenge the forum to find an accredited school:
    1. in the United States or Europe
    2. admitting a student with multiple bachelor degrees
    3. permitting maximum transfer credits
    4. can be completed online or with short residency requirements
    5. for a bachelor degree in history, military history, european studies, or something similar

    Why are you spending your time (and money) earning a fourth Bachelors degree?

    Can't you just show your potential school your first degree and your history credits ?

    and let them confer a 'second' degree in history to you.

    Yes, i'm saying you go 'hide' your other 284971984791 degrees.

    keep doing this and i think you can get all the majors you want

    your first degree + (insert 30 credits of whatever here)

    2 bachelor's degrees in 2 different fields makes sense, especially for career-changers. Multiple undergraduate degrees in the same field makes everyone confused. If you want to be taken seriously, get your master's in history and move forward.

    EDIT to add, I don't want to be rude, that is not my intent. But I think you'll find that earning 30 graduate credits isn't any harder than earning 30 undergraduate credits.

    you are a Jedi Master on this forum. point taken on your reply, there is no point on moving forward on a history degree.

    I wonder if you wouldn't be attracted to the WNMU master's program? You choose either 2 or 3 concentrations for the Interdisciplinary master's degree (9+9+18), (18+18) from a pretty wide range of subjects including history. Matt Brent is a member here and might catch this thread, but I'm sure one of his concentrations there was in history. It's also got a very nice price tag at about $250/cr.
