Stupid question: I have the list from TESC's website of their credit distribution for the Homeland Security degree. And nowhere on there do I see any course that begins with EDM. Am I stupid? Where do these credits apply? (Most of the specific classes that are listed are HLS.)

Ban26ana,
It's a perfectly legitimate question!
As cookderosa points out, FEMA is evaluated differently for Homeland Security majors. Let me know if you find out what the equivalencies are in your major and I'll add them to the list.
I just found a link that shows how one person's FEMA's applied as Homeland Security electives:

Please let me know if you see any errors.
The Business Policy TECEP (at least) only requires a 60, not a 70:
"The passing score is 60 out of 100 points."

I checked several of the other business TECEPs and they were the same.
I'm an engineer. Go figure.

Good call! Thank you for alerting me to this. I updated all the TECEP data. I also added a couple AP exams I have experience with.....if anyone else has corrections or equivalencies to add, please let me know.
