I know I can just go OCS and it says ROTC is for 1st Bachelors but I don't plan on going for my MBA and my degree will be in I.T. Management from WGU. Any information would be appreciated thanks.Can I get a 2nd bachelors degree through ROTC ADO?2022-04-23T21:43:42-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member7640385<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am active duty planning to apply for ROTC ADO and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a waiver for getting a second Bachelors Degree.

I am guessing no, but school can verify if you are eligible or not.Response by LTC Eugene Chu made Apr 23 at 2022 10:15 PM2022-04-23T22:15:13-04:002022-04-23T22:15:13-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member7640590<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Contact one of these three gentlemen... they are very knowledgeable in Military related questions/issues.<br />Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 24 at 2022 1:17 AM2022-04-24T01:17:05-04:002022-04-24T01:17:05-04:00SGM Private RallyPoint Member7640751<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In the ADO and scholarship options, the Army is paying for a first bachelors or first masters. Paying a scholarship, and even paying full pay an allowances for a second bachelors would be a waste of money under that program.<br /><br />If your intent is to use this time to seek a second BA/BS, then you are either looking at G2G non-scholarship option, where your commissioning would be based on the degree you already have, and just need to be a full-time student for the duration of ROTC, or getting a waiver to go over the credit limit to pursue a second BA/BS while enrolled in a masters program.<br /><br />Or you could just go to OCS and complete a masters in IT management online with WGU.Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 24 at 2022 7:40 AM2022-04-24T07:40:54-04:002022-04-24T07:40:54-04:00MSgt Private RallyPoint Member7640951<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe the ADO program only offers the opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree and be commissioned as an Army officer upon receiving the appropriate degree. It does not accommodate a second degree.Response by MSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 24 at 2022 11:14 AM2022-04-24T11:14:32-04:002022-04-24T11:14:32-04:00CPT Lawrence Cable7642196<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The short answer is no, ROTC programs and scholarships are for first degree only and the scholarships <br /> are competitive. Most ROTC programs to allow you to pursue a Masters, but not a BA/BS.Response by CPT Lawrence Cable made Apr 25 at 2022 5:55 AM2022-04-25T05:55:33-04:002022-04-25T05:55:33-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member7642993<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve seen it done. It’s possible. Talk to the ROTC ROO.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 25 at 2022 2:59 PM2022-04-25T14:59:12-04:002022-04-25T14:59:12-04:002022-04-23T21:43:42-04:00
