Cost analysis of big 3 - breakdown

[alissaroot]

It's also worth mentioning--since this thread lists so many cost-saving measures like Aleks and FEMA--that the National Fire Academy does have two one-credit courses similar to FEMA that can be transcribed on an ACE transcript for just the initial $40 transcription fee, less if you are already using ACE transcripts for Aleks. I think it's worth looking into, especially since the information literacy requirement often puts Excelsior students graduating with 121 rather than the 120 credits needed. These two credits can round out that oddball info lit credit so that you don't have to take a three-credit CLEP or DSST just to get the two credits needed. I meant to rework one of my plans to include this, since it would have saved at least $40. But since I didn't squeeze it in there, here's the link in case anyone would rather use those two free elective credits instead of taking an extra exam: NFA Online Home Page
