This booklet provides a guide to some of the credit-bearing opportunities in place at more than 1,200 United States colleges and universities that recognize learning obtained away from the formal college classroom. The data were compiled from a fall 1984 survey and are presented in two sections. The first provides the programmatic information itself in alphabetical order by state and, within each state, in alphabetical order by college. In this section, a matrix identifies possible opportunities for credit: national standardized examinations, recommendations by the American Council on Education, Advanced Placement Program, assessment by portfolio, institution-specific tests, oral interviews, and demonstration of competencies. The second section contains the names and addresses of all of the colleges and universities listed in the matrix. (JDD)
