If the student has graduate degree but is changing careers and is taking undergraduate classes are those classes tax deductible?

This question is for New York State.

There is not an exclusion for someone who already has a graduate degree as long the degree they will be getting from their current enrollment is ONLY going to lead to a bachelors and nothing more. 

Only expenses for undergraduate enrollment or attendance qualify. Expenses for enrollment or attendance in a course of study leading to the granting of a postbaccalaureate (for instance, a master’s degree) or other graduate degree do not qualify
