Leverage Your Prior Learning

You may be closer to your degree than you think! With Middle Georgia State, students may leverage prior learning gained through life or work outside of higher educational courses towards degree programs via Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credits, reducing the repetition of relevant course-related material and the time and money required to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree.

Depending on your program of choice, you may be able to earn up to 65 hours of credit towards the completion of your associate’s degree or up to 27 hours towards the completion of your bachelor’s degree.
