The Truth About Life Experience Degrees

Filed in archive Online Degrees by Jamie Littlefield on March 11, 2007

If a school offers to give you a degree based on filling out a simple form and forking over your credit card number, run for the hills. "Life experience degrees" are one of the most successful tactics used by tricksters in the billion dollar diploma mill industry.

However, not all life experience credit is a hoax. Several respected, regionally accredited schools offer credit for life experience. Enrolled students prove their experience by taking exams, presenting work portfolios, and working with an online instructor. Most students need to do additional coursework in order to earn a degree.

Among the respectable schools that offer life experience credit are:

Thomas Edison State College
Excelsior College
Charter Oak State College

Add your response to The Truth About Life Experience Degrees: Response from: Buster Jones This article is silly. There are no "truths" about it. Billion-dollar industry? Give me a break? That's at least an $800 million exaggeration. If you really want to know the truth go to AboutLifeExperienceDegrees.com. They are not afraid to tell the real truth. Then they say: "Several respected, regionally accredited schools offer credit for life experience." The TRUTH is that 90% of schools in this country offer some credit for life experience. The three listed just pretend to be able to evaluate your experience without any classroom requirement. It never works though. They always will find a deficiency somewhere. This article really tells it like it's not! See AboutLifeExperienceDegrees.com for the REAL TRUTHS.
