The American Council on Education (ACE)
works under a contract from the Department of Defense that is administered by
the Defense
Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES). The military services set the scheduling priorities for reviews. ACE reviews
military training (courses) and experiences (occupations) with the goal of
awarding equivalent college credits for those experiences. The Military
Guide has over 25,000 exhibits (22,000 courses and 3,400 occupations)
dating back to 1954. The results of ACE military reviews appear
in the Military Guide.
These instructions linked below are designed
to assist military training schoolhouses in planning for and hosting successful
ACE military onsite and virtual reviews.
The purpose of an ACE military
review is to bridge the gap between professional military education and
postsecondary education. Reviews are conducted by faculty members from
colleges and universities who are currently teaching in the areas they are
reviewing. The review team analyzes materials, identifies learning
outcomes, and recommends postsecondary credit based on its findings. Military points of contact should contact ACE
directly if they have questions that are not answered here.
