Are there colleges that award A.A.S degrees soley based soley on transfer credit?
#8
I think I'm going to stick to my original plan.
I will proceed to get the 45 credits from FEMA that Red Rocks Community in Denver will give me. Combined with my AP and IT certs that will give me a total of 46 easy credits (at least) without attending a class room. Then I will bight the bullet and take one semester of classes. I am in Colorado so it will be cheaper anyway. I will walk away with a degree, and then I will go back for another semester and get my computer science at my leisure.

I think Emergency Management and IT and/or CS degrees will work well together.

I just don't think that it will be cheaper or easier if the big three won't take as much FEMA credit as Red Rocks.

Unless anybody is aware of an emergency management program at one of the big three that will take more credit?

Thanks for the information, you have presented some sound options. ShotoJuku definitely provided a solid alternative. I guess, I'm a bit timid going forward. I don't want to make the wrong move! This post is a second-guess of a decision I thought I already made! I just keep doing these FEMA classes all day without knowing exactly how to use them.
