Prior Learning Assessment

Bushnell University’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program gives students the opportunity to earn up to 30 college credits by leveraging knowledge gained through work or life experiences, allowing them to save both time and tuition. Whether you’ve developed skills in the workplace or through personal achievements, PLA can help you skip redundant coursework and accelerate your path to a degree.

Based on your military experiences and training, you may have college credit recommendations to apply toward a degree requirement or program of study. The first step in the process is to request a copy of your military transcript. For more information on requesting military transcripts, visit our veteran benefits page.
