Does Propero offer online proctoring like Straightliner does? I looked at their website that you provided, but I couldn't see where they detailed the testing for credit procedures.
Another question I had was if I took classes from TESC, or transferred in the FEMA courses for credit, would I be able to than transfer those courses to Excelsior for credit towards my program?
I realize that utilizing TESC for a degree via their CJ program seems to be the best route, but I really do not want to seek out a CJ degree as I see the market is flooded with many CJ graduates, and to be honest my type of employment is not "regular" law enforcement,hence my interest in pursuing a Military Studies degree or an International Studies program.
Thanks for all the information that you have all given me, it is very appreciated and it is helping me format an action plan to help me complete this goal, getting information from those who have BTDT or are in the process is so much more reliable than trying to make sense of the information passed out from each individual school!

TESC has the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness degree where you can use FEMAs toward the major electives. It's still great to be able to use FEMAs to fill up the free electives in almost any degree, which would be expensive to do at Excelsior. As Publius2k4 said, COSC and TESC will take these directly for free. While I'm not a huge fan of criminal justice degrees, they do have more flexibility and are easier to complete with alternative sources than a military studies degree. Propero and Penn Foster offer a lot of criminal justice courses that are ACE-approved. You might also want to look at Propero in addition to Straighterline and Sophia for other courses. Propero works a lot like Straighterline.
