The American Council on Education (ACE)
ACE is a coordinating organization helping institutions and organizations
advance the higher education system. This organization ultimately helps
individuals by evaluating and recommending institutional, and some non-traditional
education and training, allowing accredited educational bodies to accept
credit recommendations. Colorado Technical University Online uses ACE
recommendations to award you transfer credit for your military experience
and training.
