Non-Traditional College Education

Author : Manik Thapar (MBA)

Thinking about going back for your degree? You may not have to
put in the traditional four years.

Students returning to school as adults bring more varied
experience to their studies than do the teenagers who begin
college shortly after graduating from high school. As a result,
there are numerous programs for students with nontraditional
learning curves. Hundreds of colleges and universities grant
degrees to people who cannot attend classes at a regular campus
or have already learned what the college is supposed to teach.



You can earn nontraditional education credits in many ways:

Passing standardized exams, Demonstrating knowledge gained
through experience, Completing campus-based coursework, and
Taking courses off-campus.

Some methods of assessing learning for credit are objective,
such as standardized tests. Others are more subjective, such as
a review of life experiences.

Adults can receive college credit for prior coursework, by
passing examinations, and documenting experiential learning.
With help from a college advisor, nontraditional students should
assess their skills, establish their educational goals, and
determine the number of college credits they might be eligible
for.

Even before you meet with a college advisor, you should collect
all your school and training records. Then, make a list of all
knowledge and abilities acquired through experience, no matter
how irrelevant they seem to your chosen field. Next, determine
your educational goals: What specific field do you wish to
study? What kind of a degree do you want? Finally, determine how
your past work fits into the field of study. Then, with the help
of a college advisor, you can evaluate educational programs to
find one that's right for you
