COTC recognizes that college-level learning can happen outside of a college classroom. We value your life experience by turning it into college credit that can be applied toward a certificate or degree. If you have an industry-recognized credential, professional licensure, significant work experience, and/or complete an approved exam in a designated subject area, you may be eligible for college credit without taking a college course. Learn more about what your experience is worth, and save time and money to earn a certificate or degree. Visit cotc.edu/earn-credit-what-you-know.
