The University welcomes Students from a wide variety of backgrounds andlearning experiences. The University recognizes their prior learning by accept-ing a full range of standardized exams, which measure mastery of college-level, introductory course content in a wide range of disciplines. Students whoobtain the credit-granting score required can earn credits and course exemp-tions. The Institute establishes standards that are recommended by theAmerican Council on Education (ACE). The University grants a credit on stan-dardized exams for undergraduate credit only. Official exam scores must besent from crediting exam center.

PPrriioorr EExxppeerriieennttiiaall LLeeaarrnniinngg

The University realizes that not all learning comes from a classroom. Studentshave many opportunities for valuable learning in their everyday lives and work.Prior learning can be formal or informal. When this prior learning is collegelevel, it can be identified in an evaluative process designed to determinewhether it is worthy of college credit. Prior Experiential Learning consists oflearning, which Students may have completed through their company, organi-zation, military training experiences, professional, or personal licensure require-ments or other documented training experiences. Defining prior learning canbe a complex task, so you and your Admissions Advisors should have severaldiscussions about your own case. The University uses the following standardsto decide whether learning is prior learning:

• The learning should be theoretical as well as practical. For example, ifyou seek credit for supervising several employees at work, you shouldevidence some understanding of the concepts of motivation, manage-ment styles and job evaluation techniques as well as the routineprocesses of day-to-day operations.

• You should be able to identify the principles involved in doing what youare able to do.

• The learning should be identified as college level when evaluated by anexpert in the field. This means you should be able to demonstrate byexamination, license, essay, etc., that your knowledge or competence isat the college level.
