Credit for Prior Learning

We know as a nontraditional student you bring life and career experience to the classroom. 

Here is your chance to earn credit for it!

At UW Oshkosh, students have the opportunity to earn college credits for their valuable work and life experiences three ways.

Adult students may be able to earn credit for learning gained through years of experience at work, in military service, as volunteers, or in settings outside the formal classroom.
