Everyone brings unique perspectives and real-world situations to their education. Faculty members blend theory with industry practice and their own experience. You can apply what you learn today in your work tomorrow. We select instructors for their academic credentials and relevant professional experience. Our faculty members understand what you need, because they’re trained to facilitate learning in the online environment—and some have earned degrees online themselves. A key part of their instructional method is to encourage you to share current workplace challenges as problem-solving opportunities for the entire class. What you’ve already learned may help you gain course credit.* Returning to school with valuable experiences and professional training, you naturally want to find the most direct path to your goal. Since credit and entrance requirements can vary by program, there is no single answer for how many courses you will need or how much your tuition will cost. But there is one way to find the answers you need: Speak to an enrollment counselor. An enrollment counselor can help you determine whether learning achieved through previous course work may transfer into our degree programs. Nonclassroom learning may also be eligible for credit through our Prior Learning Assessment process.* If you are applying for a bachelor’s program, you may also be able to gain credit for military training and national testing exams such as ACE, DSST, and CLEP . After this review of your educational background, an enrollment counselor can provide an estimate of time needed to complete your degree, as well as information you need to calculate costs. * Residents of Washington may receive credit through our prior learning assessment only in the bachelor’s and MBA programs.
