Colleges besides TESU, COSC, Excelsior, WGU that accept ACE - alab21 - 08-30-2019
I'd swear I've seen a list on here, of colleges who accept alternative credit (study.com, Sophia, Straighterline, etc--not counting CLEP/AP-nearly all take that) beyond the Big 3-4, for a Bachelor's Degree, but I can't find it. It's a frequent question on a group I'm in, so I thought I'd ask here. Must be regionally accredited.

If have a specific provider you want to use (sophia. Study.com, OnlineDegree.com etc) check on their site for partner colleges there.

The problem is that unless someone actually transfers courses to a school, or the school proactively publishes a list of accepted courses, we just won't know.

A good list, in my opinion, would have at least 90 credits transferrable and ability to take all classes online.
Here are some colleges with transfer guides:

SNHU has a generous policy accepting credits:

There are so many, it's hard to list them all. 4000+ schools take AP, 2000+ take CLEP (so definitely not "most"), but hundreds if not a thousand take ACE.
But I don't think we have anywhere near to a comprehensive list of schools that will take ACE - and as soon as it was posted, it would be outdated (either we'd find someone new who would take it and wasn't on the list, or we'd find out that a school listed stopped taking ACE.

Many community colleges are beginning to take ACE.

In my experience, more colleges take the military ACE (JST) transcripts than the civilian ACE transcripts and I have and send BOTH.
Offical Example:
Frederick Community College, MD (this is the college you buy FEMA credits from).
FCC took 24 of my 42 CLEP credits.
FCC took 19 of my 48 military JST/ACE credits.
FCC took 3 of my 78 DANTES/DSST credits.
FCC took 0 of my 55 civilian ACE credits.
FCC is progressive to make money selling you credits but is NOT liberal in accepting transfer credits.

There's no way to get a good estimate. You just have to search the policies of each individual school. ACE redid its membership list dropping it down to several hundred, but now it's over 1,000. There are schools that accept civilian ACE credits but aren't ACE members. There are schools that are ACE members but only accept military credits. Some have tried to use Straighterline partnerships to guesstimate the number of schools that accept civilian ACE credits, but that's highly inaccurate.
By the way, I recently found out that Texas A&M, Corpus Christi accepts civilian ACE credits. They're also an ACE member, but they are not a partner school of an ACE credit provider.

I know that Indiana State University and IVY Tech accept ACE Credits.
