If I am enrolled in college like Florida State can I go to a different online school for a different degree?
In 5-7 months I will be attending college, either Florida State or NYU etc... In college I want to double major in jazz studies and psychology. But I also want a business degree. Can I enroll ALSO in an online school to get my degree in Business WHILE I am enrolled at a state university?

Answer 1 :
You can do that, and you can also enroll in an online school now (assuming you have graduated from high school already.) An excellent online school is Excelsior College in New York. It used to be the distance education department of the University of New York, and it is now a private, non-profit college that is fully accredited.
Answer 2 :
You can definitely do that. However, if you're going to be enrolled full-time at either FSU or NYU, taking on another degree simultaneously could be pretty difficult. I would recommend an online degree from a school that allows you to literally complete at your own pace. That way if your double major is leaving little room for additional schoolwork, you aren't missing deadlines from your online class. The structure of online classes vary by school. In your case specifically, some allow you to take at your own pace, while others have strict deadlines. I have heard of some online colleges offering a free course for prospective students to take so they can decide if the school is right for them. I would either check one of those schools out, or decide exactly what you're looking for and do plenty of research to make sure the school you choose has the criteria you're looking for. Good luck!
