Can i obtain a Masters degree by combining my 2 seperate BS degrees?

I have a BA in Business Management as well as another BA in Mechanical Engineering. So my question is, can I combine my 300 total units that i earned (150 units each) to possibly receive a Masters degree? Or will I need to start a new plan to work for my Masters that would be independently gained? I want to know how this process works in the American universities and education system.Thanks to all :]

  1. in order to get your masters degree you have to take graduate classes-bachelors degrees are undergrad classes with maybe a few grad classes
  2. Agree with previous answer. It would be just wrong if someone would be able to do something like that. Why not to get a third BS and become a doctor of science?
  3. Agree with the one above me.
  4. To speak plainly, if you ever were to enter graduate school you would see just how much of a nub you really are. A masters degree requires mastering your topic, not combining credit hours. Graduate school is significantly harder than undergrad, no way can you manipulate credits to get a masters. You have two bachelors, which is exactly what you deserve, nothing more. Go to grad school if you want a masters. What you are suggesting is comical, something you would see upon taking your first grad course. Your education compared to a masters education just cannot compare.
  5. Ha, I got 2 master degrees, one in EE and one in EMBA. You cannot just add those credit hours together since you need to take graduate courses.
