So a bridge to more obscure alt-credit courses has been crossed.
If I recall, isn't there one on the history of food trucks that we have discussed about in this forum as well. I think a lot of people here can agree that it would great to have more courses come over as upper-level in regards to CS/IT courses on Sophia. Study.com offers them, and even Coursera professional certs are widespread in their offerings both in the amount of certs and the amount credits per cert balanced between lower and upper-level courses. Sure, ACE makes the recommendation on what they're worth, but I'm sure Sophia can up the intensity in some potential course offerings like IBM and Google do for their certs. As for Healthcare courses, I'm not talking about courses that would require hands-on training. Take a look at WGU's or UMPI's Healthcare Admin degrees (I know, people moan and groan over HA degrees - to each their own), none of those courses require any hands on training. Health Informatics is a big topic that blends IT and Healthcare -- I'm sure any of our alt credit providers could dabble in this subject or anything in Healthcare Admin.
