Eliminate Surprises. Maximize Momentum.

Kaplan University could help you pursue your educational and career goals, by providing you with the following ways to maximize your existing credits:*

Portfolio development course

EL 203: Portfolio Development is designed to familiarize Kaplan University’s adult students with portfolio development and prepare them to petition for college credit for demonstrable college-level learning acquired through life, personal, and work experience.^†

Prior learning assessment

Kaplan University advisors will carefully assess each program at your current school, to determine how credits can apply toward a Kaplan University degree. Then, we will create a custom Academic Worksheet for you, so you have a clear, concise understanding of your transfer path.

Maximize your credit

We are committed to helping you maximize credit transfers - potentially saving you both time and money in completing your degree. In addition, you may also receive college credit for eligible prior coursework, formal training courses, or work and life experiences.  See the University Catalog for Transfer of Credit policy or speak to an Admissions Advisor for more information.
