I am looking for a 2 credit hour course that TESC would accept as a general education elective. I would prefer if it was one of the free online ACE accredited course, any help would be appreciated.

Need a 2 credit course

The only free ACE approved courses I can think of right now are offered by TEEX; and, since they aren't counted as natural sciences, they won't go into gen ed. Saylor offers NCCRS approved courses that will count as humanities and social sciences, but you have to pay a proctor fee for the final exam. I don't think Business Law and Ethics will be counted as gen ed, but Western Political Thought and Corporate Communication will.
National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) « Saylor.org – Free Online Courses Built by Professors Considering how much you'd pay for a proctor, you might as well pay $20 for one month at ALEKS. You can earn credit for intermediate algebra, college algebra, precalculus or trigonometry (they duplicate), or statistics (all of the statistics courses duplicate). ACE Credit Courses

As far as I know, FEMA courses always go in free electives or the area of study for the Homeland Security and ESST programs.

I was in the same boat - I needed 2 credits - The folks here recommended a 3 credit Clep/DSST test such as Environment & Humanity: Race to Save the Planet - It was a terrific suggestion and the test is very commonsense oriented.

ALEKS may be cheap but it's not necessarily always so great. Unless you're proficient at algebra you're still looking at at 15 to 40 hours sucked out of your life and it's tedious as well. Better to study for one of the easier CLEP/DSST exams if there's one you're not already using in your degree plan.
