		I have taken 234 FEMA Independent Study (IS) Courses (834-hours) and failed some.  I have never failed any of my 8 TEEX resident courses and 5 TEEX online courses.  Not sure I agree with you!

I took the TEEX cybersecurity courses and the FEMA courses for the professional development series. FEMA IS courses are easier than community college courses, which, in my opinion, doesn't make them college-level. When I say TEEX, I'm talking about their ACE-approved cybersecurity courses.

		Both are online and free.  Both are not-proctored.  Both you can retake as many times as you want.  They are the same to me.  I have taken both and I like both.  To say I learned more from one is a joke.

		I have never meet a TESC Emergency Management/Homeland Security graduate.  Do you know of any that have done well?  What credentials did their degree get them?

		Does anyone know if any of the TEEX courses apply to the TESU BSBA "Understanding of the Physical and Natural World" section? 
 
Edit:  I already have a computer course that looks like it will transfer in as CIS 107, so I just need one more course and was thinking about taking Straighterline's Environmental Science, but if I can get one of the TEEX courses to fit, then I'll just take "free" lol

Cybersecurity for Business Professionals comes in as CIS-244, and should come in there for you.  I have on my notes that TESU considers it Gen Ed, and I seem to remember that they would put it there.  But, you can always try to get it pre-approved, or else just take it and transfer it in and see if they'll put it there (certainly can't hurt, since it's free).

It could be possible, but I have yet to see anyone use a TEEX course in gen ed. My CIS-344 and CIS-299 courses don't fall into the natural science and mathematics area of study.

		My CIS-344 (earned via the DSST rather than TEEX) lands in the NSM area of study. So it looks somewhat promising. Still, I wouldn't take this as a guarantee that the TEEX version (CIS-244 now) will work. My CIS-244 (TEEX) is in the other credits pile, but I have a lot of NSM credits. It's free so just try it. CAP-299 and CAP-385 (the other two TEEX) have no hope of counting  in NSM and they don't count in my eval.

When I asked how some credits would transfer in the BA in NSM, they added the BA in LS with a concentration in NSM (which I have no interest in) as a possible degree in OSS. CIS-344 fell into the NSM concentration. However, the business school told me yesterday different equivalencies for the TEEX courses.
