USAIS Courses Examined for ACE Accreditation

On 16 October 2013, Chief of Staff of the Army GEN Raymond T. Odierno published his strategic priorities, which expressed his desire to “educate and develop all Soldiers and Civilians to grow the intellectual capacity to understand the complex contemporary security environment.”

The Maneuver Leader Development Strategy supports this priority by reinforcing the synthesis of training, education, and experience in order to develop leaders with the skills, abilities, and attributes necessary to expand their capacities to learn. To support these priorities, the U.S. Army Infantry School (USAIS) initiated efforts to provide Soldiers with college credit for successful completion of certain Army courses by beginning the American Council on Education (ACE) accreditation process. The following attempts to answer some of the questions Soldiers may have about ACE-accredited courses.

What does ACE accreditation mean to Soldiers? ACE accreditation enables college students to earn credit for courses completed at higher education organizations, such as the USAIS. This means that Soldiers who are currently enrolled in a college or university could receive college credit when they successfully complete ACE-accredited Army courses.

Which colleges and universities support the inclusion of ACE-accredited courses in their degree programs? A list of these organizations can be found at: http://www2.acenet.edu/CREDITCollegeNetwork/Default.aspx?r=s.

How will I know when the course has received ACE accreditation? Once a course receives ACE accreditation, it is listed online at http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=browse.main.

How many credit hours can I receive for each course? The number of credit hours awarded for successful completion of each course varies based upon the course itself and upon the procedures for transferring credits to your college or university. ACE provides credit recommendations for each course; however, institutions in the College and University Network are not required to accept the credit recommendations.
