COSC to TESC

[J_T]

Thanks for all the input!!! My goal is to enter the field of emergency management after I graduate... so I don't think public safety or criminal justice would be a good fit. I might be wrong, but I think public safety and criminal justice tend to be focused on law enforcement. I really wanted to find a school that offered a BA/BS in Emergency Management but there are very few schools that do. I couldn't find any that are affordable enough and that accept non traditional credits. The only other option I was considering was American Public University (APU). The problem is that their tuition is kind of expensive. I think TESC's BS in Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness would be a better option for me.

As for staying at COSC (or transferring back to COSC).. there might be a few problems with that. First, like some of you pointed out, they don't offer that concentration. It's bad enough there are no majors, so it will be even worse getting a BA/BS with a concentration in individualized studies and having to explain to people that the sub-concentration (is that what it would be called?) was in emergency management/preparedness. Another problem might be transferring the FEMA credits to COSC. I doubt they would accept the 27 FEMA credits I plan on using at TESC.

I think the fastest and most affordable option for me would be TESC - I would only need 24 credits at $9k. To fill the missing 3 credits in free electives (in case they don't accept Cornerstone) I might just take ALEKS' Intro to Statistics.
