COSC and FEMA

[alissaroot]

I was curious about this too,so I sent COSC an email, Here's my reply:

Alissa,

I understand you have a question about the independent study courses and which ones yield academic credit. This link to FEMA (Emergency Management Institute - FEMA Independent Study Program) should give you an idea of the credit value for the exams. In general, one exam equals one credit, but there are several examples in which multiple exams are needed to meet one credit. We will accept all exams recognized as academic credit. They do need to be put on a Frederick Community College transcript. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Well, there are forty-one fema courses that yield credit, sounds like they take all of them, but they appear to be like Excelsior on their transcription preference. I think getting them accepted off a TESC credit bank transcript is unlikely.
