Alpha Numerics For Dummies

And what major would that be?

How do I fullfill these 250 hours? Can I do it at a local church, or service center of some kind that is approved by them where I can get a transcript or documentation signed off by them and then sent to TESC? Or is this done online?

Yes any help from you or anyone else like you were mentioning would be appreciated.

I was thinking of something like business, management, business management, hospitality, retail, human resources, liberal arts, liberal studies, criminal justice. Something in general regarding degree or majors or concentrations or whatever you call it for a title of my degree.

By the way are there any out of the big 3 that have a limit on how many credits can be transfered in total from other places?

Essentially, you only do the 250 hours in tha
I apologize for all the questions, but as miss Frizz always says, you can't get answers unless you ask questions.

Did you get a chance to look at the link I posted? I think that might answer a good chunk of your questions. There are degrees to match all of your interests! (except maybe for retail) Each are very different, and each have their own requirements.

Scan back to the first part of this thread-
There are liberal arts classes (these make up the gen ed requirements of any degree)
There are "in major" classes (these make up the meat of your degree)

Within each degree, there will always be a mix of the two types of classes. TESC has a third category called "free electives" which allows you to use classes from any subject. THAT is the category that FEMA classes fall into. In the BA degrees, that means 27 credits, business is fewer, 18 I think. The one and only exception to that is the Emergency Disaster Services degree, that degree will use more, 30ish I believe.

What you need to know, is that the categories are what you must use to choose classes. For instance, in the category "Social Science" there will be X credits required. Within social science, you get to pick the class/exam you want to take in order to meet that requirement.

There really is no "one size fits all" degree that is the "easiest" or "fastest" for everyone.

*the 250 hour volunteer is only for people in the Emergency Disaster Services degree, and those would be done in your community.

I wouldn't start with FEMA and try to make them fit a degree- you'll spin your wheels. Instead, here is a plan:

1. Choose:
A. Business
B. Non-business


2. Next, choose:
A. Associate Degree (60 credits)
B. Bachelor Degree (120 credits)


Those really are the 2 basic questions that you must start with before moving on with anything. Those questions can only be answered by you, none of us holds the answer.
