The ACE recommendations are for the entire certificate - so you have to complete all of it for credit.
Thank You.

I agree! It also offers 10 total ACE credits: 8 lower level credits and 2 upper level credits.
Great! I'll have to see if that's the only one providing ACE credits, I wonder if they have others...
Let me see my subscription and what access I have...

The American Dream Academy through Coursera includes:
- IBM Cybersecurity Analyst
- Google Data Analytics
- Google IT Support
- Google Project Management
- Google UX Design
- Meata Social Media Marketing
- Some Salesforce certs
Here's links to my posts on which ones are worth ACE credit:
*special note about Meta:
Quote:In the Capstone course for this specialization, you will sign up for and take the Digital Marketing Associate Certification Exam with Meta. As part of the program, you will be able to take the exam once for free and have one additional free exam retake, as needed. If subsequent retakes are needed in order to successfully pass this exam, they will cost $50 each.
I'm not 100% sure about the Meta offerings since I haven't looked into them but it appears that if you take the Coursera course, you also get to take their certification exam for free and can potentially get 3 credits total for that one.
I'm not sure if you're limited in the number of tracks you can pursue but if someone pursued all of those credit-bearing options, they'd potentially get 56 credits. That's nearly half a degree's worth if they all applied to your program and didn't overlap too much. Also, that's practically an entire associate's degree(minus gen ed and other requirements).

Does anyone know how these might transfer into TESU? I’m interested in the Project Management cert for the HR/Organizational Management degree.

Project Management (the course) is an elective for Operations Management and not part of the major for HRM/Organizational Management.

The American Dream Academy recently added another track as being available: Google Digital Marketing and E-Commerce. This appears to be a new Google Career Certificate and no it doesn't currently have any ACE credit recommendations.

Would completing all of these certs after a bachelors carry more or less weight than spending the same amount of time on a masters in IT or CS out in the job market?
