There are many options out there and simply saying you want "the easiest" or "the fastest" degree doesn't necessarily help you with your career.Thanks for this reply. I originally started a cj degree at my local community college. Currently, I'm employed by a lower tier airline. Making the move to a high tier airline will require any type of 4 year degree, there is no preference given to aviation focused degrees. Having said that, I'd prefer to use my previous experience to my advantage in some way. I've read that some colleges will provide credits for life experience?
As far as current certifications:
Basic Law Enforcement Academy (POST)
Airline Transport Pilot
TESU will give up to 35 credits for ATP with a letter from FAA see https://www2.tesu.edu/oplr/client.php?client=FAA-ATP not COSC.
There is an old thread I cannot find that a local CC will give credits for POST graduation credits. It may be something similar to this up to 39 credits at Rio Saldado https://forum.officer.com/forum/local-di...ege-credit maybe someone else remembers or commented on it.
They probably/may slot into free credits needed for 120 credits to graduate and some police credits may slot into required credits for BALS. If you can get a BSBA may help in the long term if you stay long term and want to move up. Military JST credits may help.
