The Prior Learning Assessment Program can help working and retired professionals enhance their résumés with college credit, earn college credit toward a degree of their choice, and get ahead in or re-enter the workforce.
Students enrolled in the program may receive up to 30 credit hours toward degree completion.

The typical student enrolling in this program is generally 25 years or older with at least five years of work experience and meets the general admission requirements of the college.
