RA credits self paced online like Sophia platform?

There are a LOT of acronyms used here. Many I can Google, but some I  can't. What is ACE?

ACE = American Council of education

But in this forum when people talk about ACE they are talking about ACE Credits.

ACE credits are the soul of the quest of an online degree.


These credits are evaulated by ACE and some universities just accept them, but not necessarily a university has to offer them; most of the institutions that offer courses approved under ACE credits system are the "providers", those like study.com, saylor, sophia, etc...


With this system you can get a 3-credits course that usually universities offer for $1200 to 2000$, for about 100$, 25$ in the case of saylor, and with sophia as much courses you can complete in a month for about 89$
