What courses would you like to see on Sophia/SDC/etc?
#1
Personally for me I'd like to see the following courses which are pretty rare on alt credit platforms:
  • Calculus II and III
  • ODEs, PDEs
  • Introduction to Computer Science
  • Physics with Lab
  • Linear Algebra
  • Mathematical Analysis

Straighterline does have Calculus II. UMPI counts SDC Calculus toward both Calculus I and II, although it’s only 4 credits total.

HarvardX CS50x Introduction to Computer Science on EdX can now get 4 credits of ACE recommendation for the EdX certificate fee of around $219.

A wish list of classes is great, but it won't do too much until someone sends these ACE/NCCRS providers an email requesting these classes. The more traction the better, otherwise, it just falls on deaf ears and nothing would be done about them. Even though they have some eyes on the degree forums, they may or may not add anything until more people request such classes, listing them here doesn't do anything much... It's up to the student to find RA alternatives if ACE/NCCRS don't exists.

Oh wow, I don't know that about UMPI. Does it also accept Sophia Calculus for both? Also, CS50 on the ACE website isn't credited for computer science but for Intro Programming, so not sure how that would transfer...

No, Sophia Calculus I fulfills only Calculus I at UMPI.

SDC and Straighterline appear to have this.

I know but I want Sophia to have one as I prefer and recommend their platform.
