How I miss this forum and the overabundance of great information! Thank you so much!
I put a lot of research and information back in 07/08 on FEMA and TESC so its good to see that there are now a few different extra scenarios to look at.
I'm gathering information on his past experience and schooling, he was National Guard for 5 years and took some classes at Everest (didn't know that one, would have told him to go to an RA school).
I'm in total agreement with you about AS/AAS but I want him to go AA -> BSIT -> MBA if possible. However, this is flexible as I learn more information.
At this time, I am a Barry Alumni and I know I could get him into their ACE Program locally for BSIT (my route). However, this is not set in stone, and if I can get him on the fast track to completing an undergrad I think it will give him the confidence to move forward.
I'm a little behind the 8 ball since I'm 4 years out of this forum, but will be researching it as much as possible to line up his options.
So, we'll do FEMA, prior schooling, prior military, experiential portfolio, and I'll have him get a few computer certifications on the way.
I'll look into TESC, COSC, and EC.
Thanks for the quick responses! I'll be lurking and refreshing on this forum for a bit and will let you know.
Incidentally, Barry's ACE program is going online. Barry.edu Adult and Continuing Education.
They have a GPA forgiveness transfer, so even though my GPA was 1.8 in community college, I graduated from Barry grad and undergrad with a 4.0. It might be a new option for anyone here to look at for distance education (and tons of campuses in Florida).
I look forward to getting to know this forum all over again!
