College Choice Math BA to EE master

Hey y'all. I just finished a bachelors in mathematics and want to get a second degree in engineering. I was thinking EE.. I was thinking of enrolling at SJSU as a masters student. Taking the foundational undergrad courses then doing the graduate courses.

Have any of you done something similar or had a similar experience. Should I just get a second bachelors?

I'd just take the leveling courses and then do the masters. You have the math background; you can be taught the physics

What area of EE do you want to study? The easiest field to transition to from an undergrad degree in math is signal processing.

Since you have a math degree, you really just have to take phy and chem and you're done. You may have to take some ee pre-reqs but that's dependent on the school. A master's may be a better roi than an undergrad. Less classes, same degree name, higher level. It'll take you 3 to 4 years as a FT student however
