FCC and Excelsior

[cookderosa]

Hey All,
Question.  Has anyone ever transferred their Frederick FEMA transcripts to Excelsior?  If so, where do those credits fit into a Liberal Arts Degree Plan and what is the maximum amount that can be used in a degree plan?

Thanks again,
Mike

I will suggest you look back in the archives a bit. Credit types and uses have trends on this board, and FEMA isn't trending right now (neither is Excelsior really).

I will make an educated guess, and that is that FEMA on a FCC transcript will successfully launder into EC, however, there is no way it will come in as liberal arts, which would mean it would become an elective (not gen ed elective, just elective).

Do you have the full associate degree from Frederick? If NOT, then my advice is to send them over to COSC. Not only is it a cheaper degree than EC, but you can use 9 credits of FEMA "raw" over there that do not have to first appear on a FCC transript, which should give you 9 free credits. They will work as electives in the AS if you're still building your associates, but electives if you're doing a bachelor's.
