RE: Emergency Management Certificate - Community College (FREE) - Dowew - 03-03-2018
Hi everyone.
I am coaching my friend thru his BSBA at TESU. It would be very nice if as a stepping stone he could obtain some kind of community college certificate. As the original link is down, do we know for sure if this is still operational ? And in addition to the listed FEMA courses, what other courses does he need? Are there any unique ones that he wouldn't otherwise complete in the BSBA (other than the FEMA courses obviously).
Thanks guys, you all do amazing work here !

Yeah. One of the courses is Police Admin/Mgmt, Security Admin/Mgmt, or Fire Admin/Mgmt which is not very easy/quick for most people. He may want a BOG AAS degree to start, although it seems to take many months to get conferred.

Not sure of the accronym. What is a BOG AAS degree ?

Is this literally just throw 60 credits worth of credits together to form an associates degree ? What costs is he looking at and what are the downsides ?

Pretty much. You have to have some of the basics like you have to have an English class, a computer class, etc.
And secondly you have to have 12 credits taken at an RA B&M school.
It's basically free. Cost of transcripts.
Downsides are they are seeming to take a while now, and they may change the requirements sometime like the other schools did, so I would get in quickly.

They don't need to be B&M, just RA.

Oh! But do they have to be graded?
RE: Emergency Management Certificate - Community College (FREE) - jsd - 03-03-2018
I know they want graded courses if you want to declare a concentration, so my guess is that they also want graded for the RA credits. But I don't know this for a fact.
RE: Emergency Management Certificate - Community College (FREE) - Dowew - 03-03-2018
What are some cheap options for RA schools ? 12 credits is about four courses, how much would this detour cost him?
