Personal Education Coaching - DegreeDegree
$299 per 3 credit course. Some different offerings from Straighterline and Propero.
Might be useful for some.
Their twitter account mentions 3 free credits but I see nothing on the website, although I haven't contacted them about it.

You could, since COSC is listed as one of their "partner colleges". However, you might want to consider taking this course through Straighterline to save money:
Introduction to Philosophy Online Course- Online Intro to Philosophy - StraighterLine
If you prefer an exam what about DSST Ethics in America or even DSST Business Ethics? There's also an Excelsior Exam for $95.

This was my first visit to their site- so it's a secular version of college plus? Am I understanding that correctly?

Ew! But at least it looks like you can purchase courses a la carte. The website is not very clear about anything. I already spotted deceptive advertising when it says that it has 1600 partner colleges. I don't think this is true. It looks like they are just pulling a list of schools that are open to accepting ACE credits. The organization is not-for-profit, so I'm interested in knowing how much they charge for their services. They also claim to offer scholarships.
