Credit for Prior Learning

We value what you've accomplished in your life already. Even before joining the Adult Bachelor's Program, you have acquired valuable knowledge outside the classroom—through on-the-job training, creative practice, volunteer work, military service, or independent learning—and in the classroom through noncredit courses and other courses for which traditional transfer credit cannot be granted.

Your prior learning can save you time—and money—and give you a head start toward finishing your undergraduate degree. Learn how you can receive credit for all that you know.

If you are currently enrolled in the Adult Bachelor's Program, contact the Director of Prior Learning at priorlearning@newschool.edu for more information. If you are a prospective student, speak to an admission counselor at finish@newschool.edu or by phone at 800.292.3040.
