Best for Federal Biology jobs?

The Feds only care that it's accredited.  The Big 3 will all be the same to them.  They are check-the-box degrees, not Ivy degrees.

That’s what I needed to know. But will that box be checked off for a COSC Bachelors of Science with concentration in Biology? There are some good veterans preference jobs out there that require that on USAjobs. I tried talking to COSC career placement services and got a run-around answer of “I always tell people to ask where you’re applying”... sigh that means a big fat “I don’t know and don’t care”.

I'm going to list some degrees at schools that will take 90cr of transfer including ACE, no idea if these will work for him, they aren't biology, but they're something to look at if he wants Parks/Forestry especially.

SNHU - Environmental Science, Geo Sciences
UMUC - Environmental Management
Wilmington University - Environmental Science & Policy

Otherwise, I would look at on-campus programs at your local college to see about your UL courses.

You might also search this forum for things from Santantone, she has an interest in this and has lots written about it.

Thanks! Yes, I have a list from her that I’ve used to help fill a degree plan I started on for a COSC BS with concentration in Biology. I know the most about COSC since I’ve been researching it for myself and my daughter. As long as the COSC degree will work for him, he’s willing to take his time with online classes through assorted colleges or alternative credits (but he’s old-school thinking and likes the idea of RA credits through colleges too, and not in a super hurry).
