Searching for Fire Science Credits

[CGaboury]

With the credit I've already completed at my local CC, and Sophia, I'm just about done with my GenEd's for a Fire Science Degree from Columbia Southern University. Does anyone know of any online resources for completing some of the Major Requirements or the Program Electives? I can't seem to find a resource for any Fire Science credits Online. Thanks!

still expensive, but not outrageously so

Sounds like a more expensive version of Columbia Southern that I’m already enrolled in. At CSU it’s 8 week classes at $270 a credit hour.

[bluebooger]

well with the discount it comes out to $280 per credit

so not terrible if you find an interesting course there

Are you going for an Associates at CSU or a Bachelors? You can try transferring in all the classes needed from alternative credits and then complete the remaining classes from CSU. They allow a max of 75% transfer, 25% needs to be completed at CSU for residency, take classes that can't be found cheap or through alternative credit...

[CGaboury]

Just an associates for now. I have 33 credits from all my GenEd done. I can transfer in an additional 12 to bring me to the 45 credit threshold. Just trying to find a place to take the Program electives or Major requirements that’s more economical/faster. Otherwise I’ll just take them at CSU. All that’s left are fire science specific classes.

Hmm, it's got 21 credits for the Major and 6 credits for the Electives, 28 are hard to find credits from their webpage listing here: https://www.columbiasouthern.edu/online-...re-science  

If you want, you can compare APU and their version, maybe take it there instead, they are slightly less at 24 credits: https://www.apu.apus.edu/online-associat...e-science/

Unless you can find them cheap at the community colleges, I don't recall many available elsewhere, you can look up the obscure WIKI link for any leads if any... Another option is to go for a similar Associates degree and do something closer to that subject at the Bachelors level instead.

Not cheap, but it's online.

Xamk has I believe a fire safety course in their finnish language open university. You could just robo translate the course to english. People on the forum have said the transcript will be in english.
