UAFS uses a nationally recognized method of awarding college credit for past experience from work, seminars, military education, and training/certification programs. To accelerate degree completion, each student who applies for the program will submit a portfolio of past work for review by the ADCP director. Credit can be awarded so you don’t have to take courses on what you already know.

Standard tuition and fees apply. Prior Learning Credit is awarded at a reduced fee structure. Additional fees apply for portfolio submission and graduation application.
