ADULT DEGREE-COMPLETION PROGRAMS
The Adult Degree-Completion Programs are designed to serve the educational needs of non-traditional, working adults. These programs enable adult enrollees to complete coursework for a college degree at times most convenient to them, evenings and on the weekends. All adults seeking admission must satisfy the University’s admission requirements for their desired choice of the programs below. Each program covers the subject matter in modular and serial courses.
Admission Requirements
• Applicants for Organizational Management and Criminal Justice Administration should have an Associate’s Degree or at least (60) transferrable semester hours from a regionally accredited institution.
• Applicants for LEAP Education Preparation should have an Associate’s Degree or at least (24) transferrable semester hours from a regionally accredited institution.
• Applicants who do not meet the credit requirements can still be enrolled into the Interdisciplinary Studies program until the minimum credit requirement is satisfied.
• A letter grade of “C” or better must be received in order for college credits to be accepted by Wiley University. Credits for developmental or remedial courses are not acceptable for transfer.
• All official transcripts must be submitted to Wiley University for evaluation of transfer credit(s).
Credit for Prior Learning
Credit for Prior Learning is a rewarding process through which students document their learning from experience to earn college credits. A portfolio is built by matching a college course within a declared Wiley University degree program with the knowledge and skills gained by professional or life experience (work, volunteerism, independent self-directed study, travel, etc.).
In awarding credit for such non-traditional learning, the University will review and evaluate documents such as certificates, publications, test scores, licenses, and job performance appraisals, and award credit if the assessment identifies the learning as creditable, relevant, and college level. Credit for Prior Learning significantly reduces both time spent and cost towards earning a degree.
