Can someone get a second doctorate in the same year?

Question

I received my doctorate in business admin majoring in management. The University tells me I can receive another Doctorate in International Business with a few more classes that I am already enrolled in. I can finish them and another dissertation by October. Would it seem fishy to an employer if someone received two doctorate within the same year?

Answer 1

Gosh, aren't you tired of school already??? I would be! Congrats, though! If I saw 2 doctorates in a year, I'd either think that that person was very studious or that they got the degree online somewhere. If all you lack is a few classes, why not take a break for awhile and then go back and get the second?
