Prior Learning Assessment

Our Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program offers the opportunity to earn credit for learning outside the confines of a traditional classroom. The PLA portfolio program might be right for you if you have developed college- or graduate-level knowledge, skills, and abilities, and are able to demonstrate that these skills meet the learning objectives of an academic course.

Dual Degree

Dual degree programs allow for completion of two master’s degrees within a compressed time frame, and range from 60-69 semester hours (20-23 courses) of study with one culminating capstone experience. We currently offer a dual master’s degree in Emergency and Disaster Management and Homeland Security, which are also taught as two separate master’s programs at the university.  Taking these online graduate programs in tandem gives you the core courses of both programs along with a selection of electives culminating in an end-of-program assessment.

Transfer Credits

We are committed to awarding our students as much transfer credit as possible. Take advantage of our free preliminary transfer credit review to find out if the college credits you previously earned might transfer here. The more credits you have to transfer, the sooner you can achieve your goal of degree completion.
