The DHA program gives 36 hours and my Masters from American Public University gave me 36 leaving me 18 sh short. I may just do the VESI courses and just get it finished. I thought maybe you had a suggestion on how I could get these credits on some schools transcript. I think as long as the courses are transcribed as graduate credits with any college they should count towards the graduate credits needed. Please keep me posted if you find out anything else.
Can they be credits in anything?
If so, try these options in addition to VESI:
Fresno Pacific University - Work at your own pace correspondence and online courses.

Association of Career and Technical Education - 180 1 credit courses they say take 4 hours a piece to complete. Credit offered through University of Central Missouri once completed for additional fee.
Quote: CTE Learn courses are endorsed by the University of Central Missouri (UCM), a regionally accredited public university. Course participants have the opportunity to earn undergraduate or graduate credit for their completed CTE Learn courses. Participants earn 1 Semester Credit Hour (SCH) for any block of 4 CTE Learn courses. Award of graduate credits requires proof of a bachelor’s degree and submission of a reflection paper with each application.

Graduate Credit Courses - self-paced online teacher courses. Credit offered through Humboldt State University for separate fee once completed.

Those may or may not work better than VESI for you, but each of those three paths will get you graduate credit on an official RA transcript. Just giving you more options to think about.
I think we should move this conversation to the VUL DHA forum but to answer your question yes the graduate credits can be in any subject as long as they are regionally or nationally accredited on a transcript. I would ask the school again because everything is subject to change since the program is early. They may in the future change the requirement for accepted credits as they may become selective and require credits to relate to the degree.
I personally used credits from my three prior master's degrees (criminal justice, public administration, and urban affairs) to fulfill the requirement.
