Embry Riddle ACE and CLEP articulation

[Plancked]

Hi, I have searched and searched for an articulation guide for Embry Riddle U general education classes and have not found anything useful. What I am hoping to find is a guide that will show the Embry course (such as Eng 123 (an actual course)) and the corresponding study.com/straighterline.com course equivalent. Honestly though, I'm not sure it even exists. Thanks in advance.              Bob

My daughter attended Embry Riddle and we talked to them about all forms of alternative credit, and they were firm that the only credits they accept are:

1. Credits with a grade from a regionally accredited college/university
2. AP credits (most of them, but not all)
3. CLEP credits (a subset of them, but not all - check their catalog or google it)
4. ACE credits only from military training/education

We specifically asked about Straighterline, and they said no. 

However, Embry Riddle is very expensive, so she took courses through the ASU/EdX Global Freshman Academy (now it is Earned Admission at ASU). The courses were $649 for three credits (and now they are $425 for three credits). They transferred in no problem to Embry Riddle.   Besides these options, you can also try community college courses, as well as a new program called Outlier.org, which has Calculus and Psychology for $400 and is transcripted at the University of Pittsburg. 

Hopes this helps.

Embry-Riddle does take some CLEP and a few DSST exams, but no ACE (except military). Google CEP when you get to their website, it's there.

That's worth emphasizing!! That's real-life-legitimate credit laundering, and there are only a handful of ways to do it, I'm so glad you found one.

I did a freebie degree plan for Embry Riddle online engineering on my homeschooling page, it's not very encouraging but I'll share it for what its worth to you. You can get 21 credits in advance if you use CLEP and AP (for the degree I planned) but that is NOT taking into account anything on the ASU list, so that right there is a very nice find!!

Are we discussing Embry Riddle's physical campus locations or their online programs?

I ask this considering Embry Riddle Worldwide (their online provider) has posted credit transfer information that directly contradicts what's been posted in this thread.

Regarding nationally accredited college credits:

"Transfer credit may be granted under the following conditions:

Appropriate coursework completed with a grade of A, B, C, pass, satisfactory (or equivalent) will be accepted.

Credits earned at institutions listed as degree-granting institutions in the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education (AIPE) as recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) will be considered for transfer credit. Undergraduate academic credit is generally accepted without regard to the date the course was completed. Embry-Riddle has sole discretion in determining which and how many transfer credit hours will be accepted toward degree requirements."

Regarding non-military ACE credits (I.E. Straighterline, Study.com, etc.):

" 2. Embry-Riddle will generally follow the recommendations of ACE for courses listed in the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs and the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces."

I was referring to their physical campus locations.  The OP didn't specify, and I didn't realize they had the online program.
