ACT Advancement Courses for Teachers

[IrishJohn]

I had a program director of a PhD program I want to apply to get so confused by my questions that she just stopped responding to my emails. ECE, Straighterline, ACE, and Uexcel were just too much for her to comprehend. Oh, well. I'll just have the credits transcribed by a Texas community and the school will probably accept the prerequisites without questioning.

Ok, this is just too funny! She better get used to it because these alternatives are only going to increase as time goes on. Regular college is too dang expensive with a return on investment that isn't worth much nowadays. More and more students are going to be taking advantage of the alternatives and the smart colleges who look at their bottom line will accommodate them.

Anyway, I'm interested in this answer too. My backup plan is to become a science teacher and I would love to use some of these courses as actual credit. The VESi courses deal more with special education, how to educate, and how to deal with difficult situations.

Agreed, which is why I personally haven't given VESI much thought. Now the history/poly-sci course through ACT would be right in line with what I'd like to pursue so I'm still very interested in them if they will transfer to a school I'd like to attend.
