Credit for Life Experience Program -- Office of Academic Affairs -- Medgar Evers College

The Credit for Life Experience Program is designed for the student who has been out of school for a period of time and has accumulated work/life experiences during the interim. College credit can be earned for knowledge and skills that were acquired through work/life experience prior to returning to school. Credit is given to students who can demonstrate that the learning and skills they acquired from work, non-classroom study, etc. are equivalent to the learning outcomes expected for particular courses within the College.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Must be enrolled at Medgar Evers College at the time the application is submitted.
Must have completed 24 college credits. English 100 (or its equivalent) and English 150 must be a part of these required 24 credits.

Please note the following: Credits being requested through the Credit for Life Experience Program may not be the balance of the credits required to graduate. A maximum of 15 credits toward the Baccalaureate degree and a maximum of six credits toward the Associate degree may be earned through this program.
