Get Credit for What You Already Know
Your experience matters, and it may count toward your degree. Many adult learners bring valuable, college-level learning through work, training, military service, or certifications.
You may receive credit for:
- Transfer coursework from other colleges
- Military, healthcare, or technical training
- Professional certifications or licensures
- Standardized exams (CLEP, DANTES, AP, etc.)
- Prior learning from noncredit courses, workplace training, or volunteer leadership
Muhlenberg recognizes the American Council on Education (ACE) and National College Credit Recommendation Services (National CCRS), ensuring your learning is evaluated fairly.
Transfer With Confidence
We work closely with community colleges, workforce programs, and previous institutions to ensure your credits transfer smoothly and transparently.
Military and Veteran Education Benefits
Muhlenberg proudly assists veterans and military-affiliated students in using their education benefits. Advisors are available to help navigate eligibility, required forms, and next steps.
Nate Boateng ’14
