Are there colleges that award A.A.S degrees soley based soley on transfer credit?
#29
Red Rocks is one of a least four RA schools offering degrees based on FEMA coursework (RR, Guam, Clackamas, FCC). I would suggest that if you were to take this route your best bet would be to then apply the classes to the BS in liberal studies at Excelsior. This would allow you to transfer in all 60 credits. You would need to earn 6 lower level and 9 upper level applied professional credits (the same kind as the Fema classes), which you could easily do with some of the easy DSST exams. you would also need an additional forty-five hours of arts and sciences, 21 of those would have to be upper level (again DSST exams, predominantly history) add a few general Clep exams using instacert and you have a very workable degree plan.

Clackamas is a cheaper option if you ONLY need the FEMA credits, since they will award them without requiring any additional classes, but you cannot receive their degree without attending some in person classes (and you would most likely need to be working in an EM position to be allowed in).
