Hello Everyone,
Reading through several forum posts and have some conflicting points or debates on which provider/option of credit is more popular and recommended.
From my research, I can see the following few options, just polling which one you would use most if you had an option. For me, I would use mainly ACE.
As for schools, I will go with the Big 3 or the competency based degree providers, or one that will accept most alternative options for credit, if not all.
CLEP - Recognized by 2900+ Institutions
DSST - Recognized by 1900+ Institutions
ACE Credit - Recognized by 1900+ Institutions
NCCRS - Recognized by 1500+ Institutions
UEXCEL/ECE, TECEPS or CSU CBE - Exams transferable to many institutions
PLA - Offered at many institutions (internal process of evaluating credit)
Competency Based - Several institutions offer this type of credit
B&M or International Equivalent course for Transfer Credit
Just starting a poll to see if one or more are popular. I don't think there should be a 'stigma' for some of these.
I think for myself, again, I would like the ease of ACE/NCCRS testing for credit... no need to drive to a test site.
If it's accepted at so many colleges/institutions, I wouldn't mind it at all, as it's "accredited and recognized".
