Where college level learning from these experiences can be verified and properly documented, Friends University will award college credit. Any student enrolled at Friends University may apply for experiential learning credits by submitting the necessary documentation to the assessment office. Faculty members from a cross section of academic disciplines assess the training and experiences. The maximum amount of experiential learning credit which may be awarded is 30 credit hours. Experiential credit is not recognized as credit meeting residency requirements for degrees.
Experiential credit can save money and reduce the length of a degree program.
Although numerous other colleges also recognize experiential learning, each institution sets its own standards on what and how many credits it will accept in transfer. Students intending to transfer or attend graduate school should inquire of that school how experiential credit will be accepted. All rights reserved.
