Earn College Credit with Microsoft Office Specialist Certification
Microsoft Office Specialist certifications for Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Office 2002 have been recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) for one semester hour of college credit in lower division "computer applications" or "information technology". Review the specific credit recommendations for each certification.
With the cost per college credit hour ranging from US$275-$750, high school, vocational school, community college and 4-year college students can save time and money toward a college degree with Office Specialist certification.
ACE maintains a network of more than 1500 Cooperating Colleges and Universities. Cooperating colleges are accredited colleges that agree to consider your ACE college credit recommendations. Ultimately, every college and university has the discretion to accept credit for your ACE college credit recommendations as they see fit. Contact your institution, or the institution you plan to attend, and inquire about their policy.
Interested students must pass a Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam for one or more Microsoft Office programs and have their certification listed on an ACE transcript. Ultimately, the college or university you attend (or plan to attend) will independently decide whether to grant credit and waive associated tuition requirements.
