Credit for Prior Learning
Postsecondary programs provide youth and adult learners with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma or GED, an industry valued credential, a two-or-four- year degree, and/or complete a registered apprenticeship program.
Credential and degree programs also connect across institutions and to early college/career programs in high schools, which includes dual enrollment, AP/IB, and career & technical education (CTE).
