    Question FEMA independent study and TESC

    Does anyone know if any of the FEMA independent study courses can be counted as humanities classes? I gotta fill my humanities requirement to get my BA at Thomas Edison State but I only need ONE credit and dont want to spend money to take a three credit class.

    Hmmmmmm, good question, but I was under the impression that FEMA credits are basically fillers for electives and applied professional credits.....have you called TESC?

    My FEMA went under free electives. For what it's worth, I think I saw a humanities class today - something about Jane Austin- that was one credit! (there was a 1 or a 3 to choose from).

    I would bet money that it won't work. TESC was very clear to me (and my wife) that they were free electives ONLY unless your degree was in emergency preparedness (or something like that). For a normal degree, they are only free electives.

    I wanted to add that I found the TESC one credit humanities course. It would be about $150 though TESC. It only covers Pride and Prejudice- sounds pretty easy.


    ENG-298 - Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice

    Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice is an upper-level course that focuses on the novel by Jane Austen and the ways in which she expressed her concerns and preoccupations with the changes that occurred in her time. These changes included: the status of women; the interconnection between marriage, money and love; and the relationship between social status and wealth. Students will have an opportunity to extend their critical and analytical abilities by assessing those issues and their influence on Austen’s central characters in her novel.
