You are completely right. I only need one year worth (5) credits in Linguistics in order to apply to the Master's program.....I was finally able to speak to the right person today. The courses I was interested in taking are actually the ones I need in order to apply to the M.A. program ( syntax and phonology)! :D I think it's definitely worth going for the M.A. It will probably take me 2 to 3 years to complete the one year Master's but I'm prepared for that. Now I just have to take the GREs, write a letter of intent and email prof's to beg for academic references.....(scary)


I'm happy for you! :)


Thanks :)

I strongly discourage second BAs, unless you're switching to, say, engineering or scientific research.

Most second BAs are a waste of money.

Go for a Masters. It will cost less, take less time, and be more valuable in the eyes of employers.

If you're just doing it for fun, no career intended, and money is no object... by all means, get 2... or 22 BAs. Otherwise, go for an MA or PhD or JD or MD or another terminal degree.
