New plan promises experience outside the classroom will earn college credit in Delaware - Delaware ONline

Thousands of dollars and months of time could be shaved off university, college or other postsecondary education experience under a new state framework released Tuesday. The plan would allow certain skills, knowledge gathered outside the classroom to earn credits. The "Delaware Credit for Prior Learning Policy Framework" aims to guide Delaware's higher education institutions as they develop procedures for evaluating such experience, the Department of Education said in a press release. Credits could apply to college degree programs and more, while examples of this work include learning during military service or during apprenticeships. Students can receive credit for full courses, the department said, if "they can demonstrate they gained the equivalent knowledge and learning."
