Where to search for certain courses that accredited from ACE or DEAC? - ayman003 - 06-15-2021

any idea about a dashboard that contains all courses from all course providers? so I can search quickly for some courses and compare the prices later on.

Specifically, I am looking for these courses:

There is the ACE national guide that lists all courses approved by ACE. It's not the best search, but it exists.

DEAC is a national accreditation and any schools accredited by DEAC are generally not going to have credits that are valid at RA schools. (Someone will probably chime in and note that RA and NA no longer exist and this is technically true. But as a matter of practicality, most schools are still operating under the old system so it doesn't matter.) Excelsior accepts (some) NA credits but COSC, TESU, and UMPI do not.

If you are looking for something specific, one of us might be able to help you find it. Otherwise, we generally advise Sophia for LL credit and Study.com for UL credit.

Databases: You can get that at Sophia. It's not a fun course but it exists. Programming & Programming Fundamentals: you can get that at Study.com.

Depending on how UoPeople views things, you might be able to fill some of those requirements with Microsoft exams. The problem is that they're retiring several Microsoft exams at the end of the month. It looks like the AI one is still good, at least: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/ai-900 But you need to make sure that you take the version of the MS exam that is valid for credit. Some proctoring locations will give you the exam that is valid for credit and some will only give you the MS certification.

I know zero about DEAC, but I have some ACE. I'm just throwing all of the courses Study.com offers for credit - I'm not going through your list to see what you need (especially because I don't know if they will take them - that you'd probably have to ask).

You need to find out what courses UofP accepts. Just because it's an ACE approved course doesn't mean that UofP will accept it. If you're already enrolled at UofP you also need to make sure they will accept transfer credit after you're enrolled. Not all schools do.

Oh, and to answer your initial question - there is no dashboard of all courses from all providers except the ACE National Guide, which won't be at all helpful to you. You're much better off just checking the providers we know of here (we know the cheap ones, there's no sense looking for ones that are more expensive than the school you'll be taking them at).

There's no dashboard of all DEAC schools' courses. (although I'm sure there's a list of all DEAC schools).

Can you explain what you mean by this?

The US Department of Education no longer distinguishes in an official sense between the two levels of accreditation. Regional and National are the same in their eyes.

However, individual states and schools still very much care about this distinction, so the US DoE decision didn't really change anything in practice... At least not yet.

UoPeople accepts transfer credit when you are already enrolled.
