TESC- BS in HLS - debraecm - 06-05-2009
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of any online accelerated courses in Homeland Security? Note that cost is a huge factor. Thank you for your time.
Debra

They are called FEMA classes- free, online, open book. I have been told by a TESC adviser that more than the usual 27 credits may be used for the HLS degree. Please verify with your adviser.
I hope this helps. Greg

I taken several of those to date. However I'm now looking for classes to fulfill the area of study. Thanks for the reply!

Not sure what your budget is, but American Public Univ. offers HLS at $250/unit (includes textbooks)
Bachelor of Arts in Homeland Security
Excelsior offers HLS courses, but again may be pricey...

Do you need upper level or lower level courses or both?

Looking at TESC's description its upper level. BUT I'm looking for both. I just changed my major to BS-HLS.

There are a decent amount of classes out there, but none are cheap. I searched LSU, BYU, EKU, numerous community colleges. Have you checked community colleges in your state? I wasn't sure where you lived. That may be a start.
OR- I hate to say it, but do you need a HLS degree? Can you do Criminal Justice or something more broad like Liberal Studies?

RainyDs - At this point I may look into changing it to LS. I just cant seem to find many HLS courses (per TESC requirements) online. I didn't want to get stuck taking them at TESC. Oh well time to move on.

What did you decide Debra? I took one Homeland Security course through TESC and my only complaint is the 12 weeks it took to finish. Oher than that the courses are pretty good. I too would rather have the option of accelerated or testing out equivalent but I don't think they exist.

Soup, I changed my major to BA-CJ (that could change AGAIN) at TESC). I have all ready started taking classes at Penn Foster. The down side is that it cost me 15 credits. Oh well!
