I was told I can't do it, because I want to go into Emergency Management eventually, but not right now, and the advisor at TESC told me the Associates was for Emergency Personnel such as EMT, Fire, Police, etc. Reason being, I have no current experience in it. Then again, the advisors aren't that great there either (love the school, not too fond of the people in the office).
But yes, for others it would probably work out perfectly.
I would speak with:
Donald S. Cucuzzella
Thomas Edison State College

as he is familiar with the program, and knows how to get in touch with the right people.
take a look at this

Quote:The BSHS and ASPSS degree programs are designed for mid-career adults currently employed or volunteering in the area of their chosen specialization.
If I were you, I'd ask to get a more detailed definition of the practicum requirements and especially "volunteering" in writing. This might fall in line with past or future volunteer work, as long as it pertains to Public and/or Social Services.
