7. If I qualify for a degree through Prior Learning Assessment, how do I justify the degree to my employer or others?
Suffield University does not award college credit for experience and this must be made clear. Professional educators worldwide agree that "life experience" in and of itself is NOT worthy of college credit. What PLA is concerned with is learning, regardless of how it was obtained. We assess the information furnished and gathered, to determine the level of your skills, knowledge and competence you acquired from your work experience, your voluntary activities, your avocation, your military service, your homemaking experience and knowledge from independent study. In brief, we analyze your "experiential learning" and this term legitimately describes most of the learning that occurs in our lives.

Once received we respond with confirmation, there is never any mention of prior learning or life experience on your documents or during confirmation process.

16. Is this a good way to get a degree?
For some people it is the only way they will get a degree. You must decide for yourself if this is a good program for you. It is not our intention to sell you on our program or to hype it up. We believe you will agree that we have not added in any of the normal sales hype you usually see. This is because we know our program is not for everyone. We don't want to sell you on it if it isn't right for you. There are some limitations to your Suffield University degree. If you especially want a degree to enter a traditional graduate school or if there are specific licensing requirements such as in the medical and legal field, you need to confirm that this degree would be accepted. Of course a degree from Suffield University has the advantage of being very quick and very low cost. So we ask you to consider this; are you going to return to college to get your degree? How long will it take you? How much will it cost? We are not trying to compare a degree from Suffield University to Yale or Harvard. There are different roads for each of us to travel.
