1# BSBA in Human Resources Management/Organizational Management
2# BA in journalism
3# My AA degree.
My thoughts on this are that in the end I will need a BA in something. So business wanted hurt. I like Journalism but am not sure what work is out there.
And I guess me being unsure. The AA degree would be the best fit.
So does anybody have any idea how much it is to enroll in Thomas Edison. And how much the AA Degree would cost. Or if its even worth doing. One more thing I would also like to know if anybody has Got there AA degree and does it easily transfer into a BA in some applied field. Thanks again everyone.
Pricing information is available on the Thomas Edison website (
http://www.tesc.edu). You can look it up. It is very easy to follow.
My advice to you is to pursue a degree in something that you are interested in learning more about.
There is nothing wrong with taking traditional (or online) courses, in addition to testing out. While you CAN test out of all (or the majority) of your degree requirements at one of the "Big 3", you could mix it up a bit and take some courses at a local college (you work the night shift, so this shouldn't be an issue) or online. Then, follow lrgaul's advice, and CLEP out of the courses that are not you find less interesting.
Good luck!

Hello again everyone. Currently I passed two FEMA tests. And I have reached a crossroads. I am finally deciding a Major. My two choices are Bachelor of arts in communication or Bachelor of arts in Computer Science. I feel like the one with a concentration in communication sounds like a great skill to have for business employment. I also would like to do a Bachelor of arts in Education but i cant find one.
Does anybody know if there is a degree program from any of the big three to be a teacher.
One more question. For those of you that have taken FEMA tests. It says that FEMA needs to send tesc a transcript to recieve credit. My question is that. all they did was email me my test results. and send i would not get them mailed to me. Does FEMA keep record?
