FEMA Credit and Excelsior

[snazzlefrag]

I didn't intend to sound negative.

40 credits is awesome, and I commend the student for the victory.

I just fail to see what that many will do.

Cheers

Hi shadowcross,

Ha ha! Yeah...too negative! But I understand why you would have this concern.
hilarious

I have really enjoyed the VARIETY of credits I have earned as electives towards my degree. So I would not personally want to have 40 elective credits from one subject area (such a waste of an opportunity to learn other stuff). However, I can see how it could be done....

BS Liberal Arts degree requirements:

1) At least 60 Arts & Science Credits.
2) An additional 60 credits from any combination of more A&S, or Applied Professional.

There are other requirements within those two basic ones, but there is no rule saying that you couldn't apply up to SIXTY credits worth of Applied Professional electives towards your degree.

You would just need to ensure you included a couple of 'depths' in there, perhaps a 30-credit major, and at least 30 Upper Level credits.

Most undergraduate degrees in America are likely to include a 30-credit major, and a minimum 60-credit Arts & Science distribution. Other than that, it would be easy to build 40 FEMA credits into your free electives.

Not advisable. Probably not desirable. But possible!
