Credit for Prior Learning

Do you have experience in the Music Industry? If so, you may be eligible to receive course credit based on your prior knowledge and expertise.

The Maricopa Community Colleges are committed to the idea that people deserve credit for college-level learning, no matter how it was acquired. Many people have developed learning outside of the traditional classroom. This process is referred to as Prior Learning Assessment, or PLA.
