TESC BSAST in IT, newbie getting started

[sanantone]

Which classes do you mean when you said "Those are the suggested courses so that BSAST students won't get confused." ?
I wasn't sure if you meant:
A) Generally speaking the classes from Straighterline and ALEKS360
B) The two classes I specifically mentioned from Straighterline
C) The Straigherline classes you mentioned from the link you provided

I think you meant "C". If so, then I should probably get my math credits from Straigherline (unless there is a compelling reason to use ALEKS).

You can take them with ALEKS or Straighterline.

I thought "FEMA" would be for people made homeless by Katrina, or something like that. Is this the right link for the FEMA classes? Emergency Management Institute - FEMA Independent Study Program

Are you saying that "DANTES" iand "DSST" are the same? I thought "DANTES" would only be for active military personnel.

FEMA offers emergency management courses for free to the public. TESC and many other schools offer college credit for them. DANTES is a military program that supports non-traditional education and that is where the DSST originated. The correct term for the test would be DSST, but people have the habit of calling it DANTES. Civilians can take DSSTs.
