Some advertise specifically as "post-bacc" opportunities, but you can also just apply to any undergraduate program and then work toward your BS. This latter route takes 2-3 years on average, but consider that if you are admitted to a grad program it may take that much extra time anyway because you will need to make up for the gaps in your experience by taking classes. | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 16:55 | comment | added | OrganHarpsichord | Mainly due to my ignorance, post-bacc is quite an exotic concept for me. Do universities in English speaking countries accept some graduate students from other countries as their candidate for post-bacc course, or would it be better if I pursue them in my own country? | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 16:50 | comment | added | psithurism | No, a post-bacc is not an MS but a second bachelor's degree or sometimes a lengthy research based continuing education experience that doesn't lead to a degree. It is still undergraduate study, and it is easy to be admitted into such programs having already completed one undergraduate degree. Some MS programs may admit you with what you have, but you will have a much better outcome if you do more undergraduate work first. | |
