Are there colleges that award A.A.S degrees soley based soley on transfer credit?

Hope it works for you, but it sounds like a rather unbalanced degree in my opinion. If you are adding your APlus credits and others to the FEMA credits you have a lot of really unconventional stuff. Most degrees allow a small amount of credits like this, but 50 sounds like a huge stretch to me.

It sounds like you are equating 60 credits to an AS degree, or 120 credits to a BS degree. You need 60 or 120 credits according to the degree plan. Most degree plans do not have anywhere near this amount of freedom, and force you into a mix of 75% standard courses, and 25% professional credits, etc.

If you are going to work in emergency management, courses like statistics, physics, math, psychology, business law, law enforcement, and other convenventional courses are just as important as the FEMA specific ones. Replay any of the news from Katrina and you will hear these subjects mentioned continuously.
