Another question I had was if I took classes from TESC, or transferred in the FEMA courses for credit, would I be able to than transfer those courses to Excelsior for credit towards my program?
I realize that utilizing TESC for a degree via their CJ program seems to be the best route, but I really do not want to seek out a CJ degree as I see the market is flooded with many CJ graduates, and to be honest my type of employment is not "regular" law enforcement,hence my interest in pursuing a Military Studies degree or an International Studies program.
Thanks for all the information that you have all given me, it is very appreciated and it is helping me format an action plan to help me complete this goal, getting information from those who have BTDT or are in the process is so much more reliable than trying to make sense of the information passed out from each individual school!
While the TECEPs are only $36 per credit hour, TESC courses are $476 per credit hour unless you pay the $3,000 enrollment fee which brings down the tuition rate to $229 per credit hour. This is not a very good option. Excelsior accepts FEMA credits, but they require that you get them on a Frederick Community College transcript. They were charging $77 per credit hour the last time I checked. There might be some other community colleges Excelsior will take FEMA credits from, but I believe they all charge.
The market is flooded with CJ degrees, but you do have other options which were listed previously: political science, international relations/studies, public administration, homeland security, public safety, and maybe even history or anthropology. If you ever plan to work in intelligence, I'm sure you know they love political science, international relations, and national security degrees. Although, there aren't that many undergraduate degrees in national or international security. My master's is in security studies which is basically the same as national security, a sub-field of international relations, and often a concentration in political science programs. I sometimes have to explain to people it's not the same as homeland security which is often paired with CJ or emergency management.
Does anyone remember if Propero uses ProctorU or any proctor at all?
