If I already have a business degree, can I enroll and pursue another degree in a related field, or does the fact that I have already graduated force me to take classes per credit?
In other words, will a university accept me, or will I have to take the more expensive route and pay per credit hour?

I'm not certain that I understand your question.
In the US, you're going to pay for the courses you take.
A school will look at your transcripts, apply credits to requirements if they fit, and count some as electives. Any courses that you still have to take you will pay for. Some schools charge by the credit hour and some schools charge by the course.
If you are trying for a graduate degree (Masters or PhD), you will either be accepted into a program unconditionally or with requirements to fulfill prerequisite course work. Again, you will pay for whatever classes that you take.
It may work differently in other countries, but this is how higher education functions in the USA.

It's very common for students to earn their Bachelor's in one field, and get a Master's in something related. For example, I got my B.A. in Economics, but earned my M.B.A. in Finance, which is a related field.
Now to the second part of your question, which is whether you'll have to take per-credit classes. The answer is YES if you are going for a degree.
But if you're going for a Certificate, the answer could be yes or no. For example, I got a Certificate in Human Resources, but that didn't involve taking credit classes. It was through the Continuing Education Department where classes are taken as non-credit. But I did earn some credit hours for the time spent in the classroom.
So it all depends on what additional training you want. If it's an actual degree, Associates, Bachelors, or Masters, then YES, you'll definitely have to take credit classes.
But if it's a Certificate, then it all depends on whether it's offered through Continuing Education (non-credit classes), or the Department itself (credit classes).

I think you can enroll in a whole other degree. I've known people with multiple degrees. I don't think they can force you to take classes per credit. You call always call and ask- just to be sure. Different universities may have different policies.

yes you will be accepted to another university even if you already have a degree. some majors require some of the same courses, so you might only need to take the course required for your new major, depending on if the school accepts credits from your previous school.

You should be able to enroll for a degree in another field.

Where are you from? If that could help you, in Greece anyone can re-join a university without paying any fees or something like this. You only have to pass exams.That means that you can be, if you like, a lifelong student.

It one hundred% depends upon the trainer. Ive had fascinating categories with academics I could not realize and different categories with subjects i commonly wouldnt deal with however come to be liking due to the fact of the trainer. Classes are effortless to pass and I well instructor makes it one hundred occasions much more likely to wait, revel in, and prosper
