Find a full time job with NC State. Each semester you get one free class with any of the UNC system schools.

Find an employer with a tuition reimbursement or tuition waiver. Most *should* have them, as most employers encourage their employees to pursue an advanced degree as a part of professional development.

You can take classes as a PBS student pretty easily but there's a limit to the number of credits they'll allow toward a degree. If you're going for a second bachelor's degree you're technically supposed to apply as a transfer student.

if you're doing it at the same school you got your undergrad, i think all you need to do is go talk to someone in the college you want the second degree in. your credits from your first degree should transfer (like english, science, math, foreign language, free electives etc) but your first step should be talking to somone in the admin office of the college you want the degree from

You can just apply for readmission, go down to Registration and Records and talk to somebody about it.

I've always heard it is best to go for a degree that is at the next level than the one you currently have rather than getting an additional degree that is at your current level of education. Try looking at grad school instead of undergrad. Even if it is a new discipline chances are you will only need to take a few additional classes to be admitted into the program.

i have to wait another year to apply for the part-time MBA program at state, so i was going to work on another degree. Also, the degree i have has nothing to do with my field of work, and i would like to expand my opportunities in the field i work in...because i really like it.
