College Credits for Previous Learning Experiences: Reaching Nontraditional Students.

Harris, Ian M.

Urban Review, v14 n1 p25-33 Spr 1982

The School of Education at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee has refined its method of granting college credit for community experience. Prior Professional Educational Experience (PPEE) credits are granted for knowledge in competency areas offered by the department. The program has given students a sense of accomplishment about learning acquired in nonuniversity settings. (Author/GPM)
