Credit for Prior Learning
You can earn credit for things you have done prior to coming to Northwestern.
Adult students have great opportunities to receive credit for prior learning. We proctor DSST exams on campus, and we offer prior learning portfolio evaluations. The Office of Adult & Graduate Studies will connect you with detailed resources and help you determine the best way to receive prior learning credit.
