Yes, there are colleges and universities that would count this as a life
experience and give you credit for classes. What you do at most universities
that allow this is to put in an application for each class, and the
certification and explain how the certification has allowed you to already
know the material in the class. If you have actual classroom time for
technical studies like ACRC or whatever it is now, those have ACE credits
attatched to them and they can count directly towards college credit (as
oppossed to applying to get credit for a class by explanation of why a Cert
already gives you the material). Most Universities these days do this. I
know for a fact Ohio University, Ohio State University, Iowa University,
Strayer University, do this. I am quite sure almost a,ll universities do it.
The other thing you can do is CLEP a class. If they do not give you credit
based on your technical cert or classes then you can pay a fee which is well
below the cost of the class to simply test out.
I have never been to or talked to a University that does not have some form
of these items.

I don't think so. I have chked several universities and all they care is,
your GPA in previous colleges and experience etc. CCIE is very cisco
oriented (well, title say that), there are couple of colleges that give you
bachelor degree, if you have some cisco certifications, other certs and exps
etc.
But then if you want to get admission to (let's say columbia or even a state
university), they don't even count that degree. You need to have Bachelors
from Accelerated Colleges (recognized by Board of Education)with real
college courses, then you can go for further studies, Masters or Ph.d etc.
No credits are granted for certifications, but they may only help to get
admission.
Anyway, You can call directly to university that you are interested in and
see what they say. What I know is, answer is NO. no credits for ccie...or
any other cert.
