Can Someone Explain FEMA Classes - empowered2teach - 12-26-2013
Hi All! I'm new to CLEP tests, but I've recently passed the US Government and planning to take the US History this February. I've got a question, though about FEMA. I've noticed that many on this list have taken the courses. Would someone explain when one should seek out these courses? Are they just fillers for extra credit towards graduation? Or are they degree specific (and applicable) classes only? Thanks in advance!
So far towards BA in Liberal Arts:
40 traditional creds
1 CLEP (American Gov't)

Generally, these courses are just filler for electives. However, you CAN use some of the courses for a degree in Emergency Management at Thomas Edison. You could also use them for a Learner Designed Area of Study (TESC) or Individualized Study Concentration (COSC), if you were able to justify why these courses are vital to your college education and your future career goals.
But as a general rule, they are just filler credits.
