Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get college credit for what I already know and earn a degree from a Nationally or Regionally accredited college in the US?
Yes you can. There are hundreds of fully accredited colleges that do not require that you even step into the school to get a degree. Some are well known and advertise on television. They are also very expensive. There are much less expensive alternatives that most people do not know about.
What “life experience” can I get credit for?
You can get credit for almost any college level learning that you have acquired in your life. This is not credit for life experience. This is credit for what you have learned in life. For example if you are a photography buff you may qualify for credit in a basic photography course. You can do this for almost any skill or hobby that is college level learning, such as scuba diving, accounting skills, drama experience, cooking, baking, creative writing, computer networking, and construction industry standards. Do you know Spanish, French or German? If so you can test out of 9 credits. Are you Microsoft Certified? Credit is often given for many of these certifications. Plus so much more. The list is almost endless.
Can I get credit for classes I took at other schools or in corporate training?
Yes you can. In fact, some schools will give you credit for almost any classes that you took at any regionally accredited school even if those classes were 10, 25, or 40 years ago. Many corporate training classes are allowed as well. Some people already have enough credits to earn a degree without even knowing it.
Are these real schools? Are these schools that I can use to get into graduate schools?
Yes. That is the point of this article. Make sure that you attend a REAL school. One that has accreditation and recognition that will never be questioned, that will never be embarrassing that will always be accepted by employers and universities. Can credits completed at a University outside the US be accepted? Yes. They generally need to be evaluated in terms of US credits and in terms of relevance to the program you want to enter. As a rule, credits completed at accredited/recognized Universities outside the US are considered equivalent to credits completed at US accredited colleges. Of course the credits completed must apply to the program you are entering, but this is true of credits from Harvard University and all other U.S. Universities as well. Is there a limit to the number of credits I can transfer in? What happens if I have enough credits to equal a degree but I do not have a degree? There are schools that have no limit to the number of credits that they will accept from other colleges, as long as they are from regionally accredited schools, foreign schools that are equivalent to a regionally accredited school, corporate programs that have been reviewed for acceptance and standardized exams. Of course, the courses must apply to the program you enroll in. There have been students who have enrolled and been issued a degree immediately based on what they had already completed. Others have taken exams to complete the requirements. No one I know has ever heard of this. Not even the counselors at my local college. Is this new? While more and more colleges are now offering online programs where you do not have to ever enter a classroom, there have been State Universities offering credit for what you already know for over 30 years. It is the best kept secret in education! I don’t want to test out of everything. I want to take classes but I only want to work from home – or even a hotel room when I travel. Is this possible? Yes. There are many excellent programs that can be done entirely from home. Even the exams are taken online. I am ready to begin – what do I do now? Click Here to order!
“ I wish I knew about this 10 years ago - This might be the best kept secret in Education.”
“ I was going to drop out of college after my first year. I had to work and could not handle doing it all. I graduated 6 months after discovering how to test-out.”
“ As soon as I learned about this, I studied for two nights and took an exam that gave me 6 college credits. I studied the next week and took three exams that gave me another 12 credits. I thought I would never get a college degree and now I see that I should be finished in less than a year.”
“ In three months I had banked over 60 credits - that is the equivalent of two years of college work. I study an average of two hours a night, three nights a week.”
“ I dropped out of college with only 15 credits to go to get my degree. Everyone told me that the credits were worthless after 15 years. Mine were over 25 years old. Everyone was wrong. I got full credit for my 105 credits completed and I tested out of the remaining 15 credits in less than 4 weeks. Now I have my Bachelor's degree. I am so proud.”
