Take Your Training to College

Abstract

ACE/PONSI was initiated in 1974 on the recommendation of the Camegie Commission on Nontraditional Study that the American Council on Education's system of evaluating formal courses offered by the armed services be extended to civilian organizations. The criteria and procedures that the American Council on Education (ACE) has used since 1945 to evaluate military courses were adapted by ACE/PONSI. The purpose of ACE/PONSI at the national and state levels is to help people obtain academic credit for learning acquired outside the sponsorship of colleges and universities.
