  • Prior Learning Assessment

    Geared toward the military or DoD professional, prior learning experience and training could accelerate attainment of your TCC, diploma, or associate's degree. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a pathway for assessing learning gained outside a traditional academic environment. This could be learning acquired through prior employment, volunteer, military, corporate training, independent study, non-credit courses, or other relevant experience. PLA is a process of evaluating what a student knows at the college-level derived from these experiences to award college credit. PLA can save you time and money because you may not be required to take courses for material you have already mastered. Click here for more information about PLA.
