In taking this approach, Aquinas hopes to be able to assist Continuing Education students in attaining their academic and career goals by recognizing with the awarding of academic credit, where possible, the professional competence they have achieved outside of formal classroom instruction. Students have the opportunity to receive credit for college-level learning acquired prior to and apart from formal college instruction. As with all other Aquinas programs, Prior Learning is rigorous in both its design and administration. The learning is college-level in quality. The determination of competency and of credit awards must be made by faculty with expertise in the subject matter.
