Did you know that you may earn half of your credits toward your associate’s or bachelor’s degree, at less than half of the cost-per-credit? Central Michigan State University allows you to apply relevant learning, work and life experiences toward college credits through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process.

Save Time and Money by Applying Your Past Experience Towards a Degree

You may be able to fulfill some elective, interdisciplinary and/or general education courses by going through the PLA process. In order to be eligible for PLA credits, you CMSU be an undergraduate student who has already been accepted into Central Michigan State University.  In addition, you CMSU have submitted your transcripts to the University and you CMSU have remaining general education or elective credits required to earn your degree.

Get Credits for Your Experience

You may be eligible for PLA, based on your work experience or informal education, such as, some professional training, seminars, and courses offered by your employer, etc. You may also earn credits if you have licenses, certificates and transcripts granted by colleges and other institutions.
