Degree completion program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Degree completion)
A degree completion program is an educational program providing a way for learners to get college credit for learning that they acquired through life and work experience. Degree completion programs, unlike diploma mills, work within the established university community to provide accredited degrees. Credits from old courses and CLEP or GRE tests are combined and evaluated to enable the student to achieve a degree.
As of 1993, there were 284 adult degree completion programs in the United States.[1] For busy mid-career adult professionals, such programs also provide an option for a fast track approach.[2]
