We explore every potential source of credit
When we support students, we do not simply look at the traditional college credit they have earned in the past in classrooms on college campuses or online. We look for every potential source of college credit that they may have earned in the past, including non-traditional college credit, such as ...
- College credit-by-examinations, applying national college exams (AP, CLEP, DSST, ECE)
- College credit for military training and experiences
- College credit for professional training at corporations and government agencies
- College credit for professional licenses and certifications (ASE, FAA, Microsoft, etc.)
- Credit for adult and experiential learning via Prior Learning Assessment at colleges
Of course, minimizing loss of credit in transfer is equally important, as we do not want our students to have to retake courses they have taken in the past. After all, they invested their time, money and energy to complete the courses.

The secret to accelerated degree completion
Maximum application of the credit you've earned in the past
That's what we mention above and is described in this section on this site. However, it is not just maximum application of credit that you have earned in the past that matters. Equally important is maximum application of the credit you are going to earn in the future, which may include some of the non-traditional credit sources mentioned above, such as college credit-by-examinations. After all, we connect our students to hundreds of tuition-free courses from excellent colleges and universities across the nation which can help them prepare for national college examinations, including more than 150 Hollywood-style video courses digitally streamed on the web, numerous web-cam virtual classrooms, and hundreds of downloadable online courses. Even if you haven't earned non-traditional college credit in the past, we can empower you to do so. When you consider that more than 2,600 accredited colleges and universities across the nation will accept various amounts of non-traditional college credit, why not take advantage of the opportunity? Our goal is your success - helping you achieve your goal of donning the cap and gown.
