Has anyone on DegreeForum done a few classes, or finished a degree from ACE?

They have a lot of programs and RA accrediation. It'd be nice to see some reviews from them. Their pricing is pretty competitive for cash payers.

I actually enrolled today as a “student at large”. Some of their courses fit in to my MBA program for a lower price and shorter term. I know we had someone here who did the same about a year ago. I’ll have to see who it was.

Ah… It was SweetSecret

Yes, I've been recommending their Masters and Doctoral program, even though they're a private for-profit, they're a pretty good deal and centered for education, leadership, or teaching, I see them branching slightly off with a couple or more degree offerings though...

Another potential benefit for me… I asked if the credits I take now could later be applied to one of their programs if I also used them on another degree that is completed elsewhere and they said yes. So when I finish this MBA, if I take three courses with them and some of my MBA courses transfer in, I could be halfway to a M.Ed in Educational Business (which is also applicable in my field). I don’t know if I will do it, but I might. Kind of exciting to think of the possibilities.

That's pretty cool! I enrolled and got accepted for one of their Master's and they waived several courses due to my DHA.

Awesome, which one did you apply to?

Have you started your first course yet?  Mine started yesterday. I am not sure about it yet.  So far, the readings are dry and the videos are too, um, robotic.  I watched an entire video and I have no idea what I just watched.  Probably my attention span.  And a four page essay on the first week??  Hopefully I will be able to find a groove this week.

Are there transcripts for the videos, or do you have to watch them? I hate videos...

Not exactly.  I can turn on closed captioning.  I just figured out what this needs… a friggin power point presentation.  It’s just a dude sitting there talking in an artificial pace while his head and eyes are clearly reading a prompt.
