I know, right? I just wish Coopersmith used RPNow. I'd be all over that. Do they use ProctorU? I've only done in-person proctored exams with them.

If you transfer the maximum credits, then a bachelor's degree can be done in a similar amount of time. WGU is the ultimate competency-based degree, so if you're ready to pass the tests and write the papers, it is very fast. However, most people are not ready, so they take years to complete everything, similar to a typical university.
WGU doesn't accept transfer credits for their master's degrees.
I was only referring to transfer credits for the bachelor's degree programs, which vary widely by degree, by the way. However, at least some of the WGU master's degrees do accept certifications as transfer credit:

MSCSIA is notable, as the certs can count for almost half the degree!

These are certifications. These aren't transfer credits like a class taken at XYZ University and transferred over.

That can be an important distinction. I consider "transfer credits" as what a school awards, regardless of the source (RA, Sophia, certification, etc.), given that the effect is ultimately the same. Further blurring the line are CLEP, DSST, Saylor, and even CBE degrees where credit is awarded for a single test, similar to a certification exam.

Grad programs are different. Many schools don't accept transfer credits of any kind in grad programs. Some do. Some are very selective. There aren't any ACE credits for grad programs. If there are I haven't seen them and I haven't seen a school accept them. Certifications are a whole different beast. Lots of schools don't accept them. A few do and that depends on their program. Back in the day - a few years ago - WGU degrees included quite a few certifications. They've gotten away from many of them unfortunately. You could take the exam as part of your course which was a nice perk.

Statistics.com has (or had, at least) ACE grad courses. I assume TESU accepts them for its MS in Data Science and Analytics, but I'm not sure how many they actually accept.

i believe TESU accepts 15cr for grad transfer, but even after that it's still a very expensive grad degree (relative to our forum's purposes).

They still include quite a few. Which ones have they gotten away from that are unfortunate? I know they used to have CIW certs included in many of the degrees that have been eliminated since they are pretty much worthless.

The only ACE/NCCRS for grad credit I know of are:
Statistics.com (3 courses I think ACE)
Coopersmith Intro to Education Graduate Level (3 credits NCCRS)
And I have never seen any proof these being accepted towards any grad program except the statistics.com at TESU.
Those are the only ACE/NCCRS grad level credit I know of. I guess sometimes certifications could count of bachelors credit in Bachelors to Masters pipeline or something.
