A unique aspect of this program is the awarding of credit for non-collegiate prior industry training, learning and work experience. The student may request  evaluation of military or industry-based training workshops, seminars and certificates to meet some of the requirements of his/her individual program goals.  A faculty member and/or department chairperson related to the student’s area will meet with the student to determine if and how specific training or work  experience meets identified outcomes of the student’s goals, document that determination, and make recommendations for the amount of credit to be  applied to this degree. A maximum of 21 semester hours of credit may be earned through this method under the Occupational Work Experience  Assessment Process. See a college counselor for the sheet titled “Occupational Work Experience Assessment”.    NOTE: Students may also use the established processes for CLEP (College Level Examination Program) or proficiency testing to obtain credit toward this  degree. See the current college catalog for information regarding these processes and policies.
