Northern Arizona University Launches Competency-Based Online Degree Program

[Daithi]

Someone had asked if NAU accepts FEMA courses. I believe they do, but indirectly. From reading through their Info Packet it states--

If you have an associate degree, or 64 transferable units, your minor requirements in a NAU-Personalized Learning degree program are waived. An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) will waive the requirements for a minor except where precluded by program policy.

so if you earn the COSC AS degree laid out by Rebel100 then it looks like NAU would just accept the degree. This would be pretty sweet because as Rebel100 points out, you can earn that AS degree for about $1,500. If you can earn the BA from NAU for another $2,500 then the total costs for your degrees is only $4,000. With all the money you have saved on your undergrad degree, you can go get that Masters in Computer Science from Georgia Tech via Udacity for only $7,000 more.

Unfortunately, the response I got back on the email I sent NAU was just a form letter response that answered none of my questions. Their website also sucks. You can't even view the requirements for their Computer degree because links are broken or return errors when connecting to a back end database. I think I'll try calling them today, but so far I haven't been too impressed.
