Admissions

College Credit for Your Experience

At Globe University, we appreciate the value of knowledge students bring with them to our school. If you demonstrate that you have completed an educational or professional experience equivalent to a course in your program, we grant college credit toward your degree or certificate for that prior learning. No charges or fees for evaluating your experience or for the credit—it is one way we help you achieve your goals as efficiently as possible.

Your degree may be closer than you think. If you are interested in applying for credit for experience, please contact your campus or online division for information about the application process:

  • Undergraduate students, ask to speak with the dean of students about credit for prior learning.
  • Graduate students, ask to speak with the dean of graduate studies about credit for work experience.
