ACE CREDIT Course Review

December 30, 1899

 

The ACE CREDIT Course Review is the most widely used course evaluation program that stresses academically sound methods. This ensures that all ACE CREDIT-approved courses offer consistent, high-quality educational opportunities to organizations.

An ACE CREDIT Review is a thorough process. Courses and examinations are reviewed by carefully selected teams of faculty evaluators from relevant academic disciplines. If the content, scope and rigor of the course or examination is equivalent to a college-level course, the teams recommend appropriate college credit. Students can use these credit recommendations to satisfy general education or degree requirements or to demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in a particular subject. ACE CREDIT recommendations are used as guidelines by colleges and universities, which make their own decisions about awarding credit.

If you are considering an ACE CREDIT Review for your organization, please review the following for more information about the CREDIT Review Process for:

  • Courses
  • Examinations
  • Authorized Instructional Site/Authorized Testing Site
  • Defense Acquisitions University (DAU) Equivalency Program

All ACE CREDIT reviewers are college or university faculty members, and are selected based on their subject-matter expertise. Credit recommendations are made in four basic categories: vocational, lower division baccalaureate/associate, upper division baccalaureate, or graduate degree. Interested faculty members can learn more about becoming an ACE reviewer.
