COSC AA Help

[Tedium]

There is the option of taking 17 credits from FEMA into your AA/AS. In addition to that recommendation, you should take the 7 courses that make up the PDS Certificate from FEMA. It's a resume builder! Plus, it's a set of FREE credits & a FREE certificate!

You can use these FEMA credits for the free electives section of your degree. If you continue onwards to a BA/BS from COSC, you can take up to 33 credits into your degree plan. From 17 to 33 credits for FREE - PDS Cert Link: https://training.fema.gov/is/searchis.aspx?search=pds

Too bad there isn't an institution right now that can offer up to 80-90 credits from FEMA, it's all free for the taking and can go into a degree as a concentration. I wonder if Excelsior would allow up to 90 credits from FEMA into their Homeland Security program.

The online AAS or Certificate program in Emergency Management at Frederick Community College is about the closest I've seen to a true FEMA degree. You take the FEMA IS courses in a sequence of four or so then you take a 5-week module course that ties all those IS courses together. The AAS page says it will transfer into COSC BA in Public Safety. It's a cool little program that could probably be finished very quickly with all the Gen Eds transferred in. I would do it if and when I get the extra cash.
