I just looked at my transcript. They only put the dates for courses taken at TESU. There are no dates for transfer or assessment credits, so they would have no idea how long those took you unless you tell them. I doubt an interviewer would even think to ask how long it took you to complete your degree. I think they would be more interested in "what" ACE credits are.
Someone else could give better advice than me as to how to explain an online degree. I have never had to do that.
