Ed4Credit's New Upper-level Course Approvals

[Ed4Credit]

Hi Degree Forum Folks,

Ed4Credit was a part of the ACPE program before we were approved by ACE CREDIT, so we had 13 courses that only had ACPE approval until now. As of now, all 40 of our courses have ACE CREDIT recommendation. ACE CREDIT Website 

I also heard you guys say that you needed more Upper-level approvals, so we now have 5 courses that received Upper-level ACE CREDIT recommendation!! As always, your school can decide whether to assign upper or lower level credits to a course but having this recommendation helps.

Here are Ed4Credit's 5 Upper-level courses:
1.      BUS 300 Business Management
2.      BUS 320 Human Resources Management
3.      CSC 300 Managing Information Systems
4.      PSY 340 Abnormal Psychology
5.      PSY 375 Aging & Society

We do offer coupons on our website that change regularly, and we have an annual coupon just for Degree Forum folks. The Degree Forum coupon is for 20% of our courses and it is DF18.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Thanks for the update!

I'm going to put in a request for the people who need it (I don't):

1) Physics I & II w/labs
2) Chem II w/Lab
3) Bio II w/Lab
4) Historiography/Historical Methods
5) Non-US History
6) Non-Western Literature

These are the most requested courses that we don't have available (or only have 1 option in the case of Non-Western Lit). SL used to have Chem & Physics II, but let them expire back in 2015. It seems kind of silly to let something expire when you go to the trouble of creating a course and get it approved; but I think it's worth looking at.

Also, some UL Lit/English courses. We have a lot more people getting English degrees since it's now possible to test out through Shmoop, but many of them hold their noses while doing so - they really want that English degree, but they really hate Shmoop. You could try to give them a run for their money there.

To drfecore's list, I'd add the following:

-Accounting Information Systems
-Auditing
-Python Programming 
-R Programming
-Linear Algebra

To drfecore's list, I'd add the following:

-Accounting Information Systems
-Auditing
-Python Programming 
-R Programming
-Linear Algebra

These are all good, but they're definitely not on the top of the requested list.  I have yet to see anyone specifically request Accounting Info Systems, R Programming, or Python Programming.

The UL Math courses are not as highly requested as the ones I mentioned, but they are ones where it is HARD to find the courses for less than $500-$1000:
Calc III
Linear Algebra (calculus-based)
Data Structures

I wish I could remember the school (I think it was Ohio State?) that offered credit by exam and inexpensive independent study courses for some Non-US History courses

I think they had mediterranean history, egyptian history, greece history

I did some R courses for ACE credit through statistics.com -- not inexpensive, but not terribly expensive either

I too would like to see a decent python 3 course -- I know there's a school (North Dakota ?) that offers a relatively inexpensive python 2 course

Yeah, it was Ohio University, and they offered some math courses CBE as well. I don't know if they do anymore.


EDIT: dfrecore- given the increasing importance in software end user capabilities for accountants, I think an AIS course would be quite popular. I'd love to see math courses above Calc II offered, since, as you point out, there are no inexpensive options.

It may seem like it would be popular, but like I said, in 7 years on this forum, it's not one of the courses people are asking for much if at all.  CSU-Global does offer it as a CBE though.
