Earn Credit for What You Know
You may be eligible for credit that can speed time to degree completion.
Looking to finish faster?
We have been serving adult learners for more than two decades, and we understand your desire to make rapid progress in your career and in your education. The options on this page may help you accelerate degree completion and save on the total cost of tuition.
Prior Learning Assessment
Our Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program offers the opportunity to earn credit for learning outside the confines of a traditional classroom. The PLA portfolio program might be right for you if you have developed college- or graduate-level knowledge, skills, and abilities, and are able to demonstrate that these skills meet the learning objectives of an academic course.
Transfer Credits
We are committed to awarding our students as much transfer credit as possible. Take advantage of our free preliminary transfer credit review to find out if the college credits you previously earned might transfer here. The more credits you have to transfer, the sooner you can achieve your goal of degree completion.
