And, the more UL courses you can get, the better.

Sanantone has some great suggestions!
My thoughts on History -- avoid UL courses like the History of Vietnam (since other ACP sources are covering that subject).
I love dfrecore's suggestion to partner with colleges like SL has done -- especially helpful on this forum would be the 3 most popular here: TESU, COSC, and Excelsior.
As for UL course ideas, it might be useful to look at TESU's current class offerings, as from what I've read, they are possibly more likely to consider ACE-approved courses as UL if their own course with similar content etc is UL.

and TECEP offerings probably do not need to be duplicated: Thomas Edison State University | All TECEPÂ Tests
This is a super exciting thread -- the need for more UL courses is pressing, and I'm so glad to see a small company taking the time to listen to students. And the thing is, here on the df, it's not just current students, but many of us are also parents of older children who may take the alternative credit route for at least some of their college-level learning, so there is potential for repeat customers
