Credit for Life and Work Learning

Accelerated Programs for members of the Clergy, Ministry and Education professions. PLA, Prior Learning Assessment / Evaluations for the experienced learner.

Like many institutions of higher education, we believe that a learner's work and life experience should translate into academic credit as long as it can be verified and documented. We use the internationally method of qualified PLA, Prior Learning Assessment.

However, we do not grant entire degrees based on life and work experience. By policy, only a percentage of your credits may come from your Personal Learning Portfolio.

If you have significant life and work experience, you can earn additional credit through testing and directed-study courses, or even a final project.

Credit for Military, Technical Schools, Law Enforcement and MANY other learning methods are also considered.
