Recognizing professional training as college credit.
Since its founding, University of Phoenix has valued the learning that adults gain outside the
traditional classroom. One way we acknowledge this is by offering college credit for certain kinds
of corporate training. Each year, the University of Phoenix Prior Learning Assessment Center
evaluates the training programs of corporations for college-level credit worthiness.
The process is called articulation, and it requires documentation and a mutually signed
agreement between you and University of Phoenix. The participating institution submits a
complete course syllabus for each training class to be evaluated. Our academic deans and faculty
members review and evaluate the information. Courses earn credit only if they meet the academic
standards of post-secondary education, and if the University is satisfied that the participating
institution has a monitoring system to assure consistency.
Credit recommendations apply primarily to elective and general education requirements in
undergraduate business programs at the University of Phoenix. Accepted coursework will be
awarded credits in increments of .5 credits with any of the following options:
- Coursework may be recognized as lower or upper division credit.
- Coursework may be recognized as General Education credit applicable to a specific General
Education category, or as electives needed to fulfill requirements of the degree program.
- Coursework may be accepted with a limitation that it be combined with other specified
coursework in order to meet content or clock hour requirements.
How it Works
When evaluating a corporate training course for credit award, University of Phoenix
faculty evaluators look for academic content and equivalency to a regionally accredited university
course. Vocational or remedial coursework such as word processing, shorthand, driver training,
pre-college course work, and maintenance and repair courses do not qualify for credit.
Prior to our evaluation, we will request the following information:
- A current course catalog, training catalog and course syllabi or course descriptions.
- A copy of verification documents sample training record or sample certificates.
- The name, title, phone number, and address of the contact person at the institution,
and the name and title of the person who will sign the articulation agreement.
