College and University Credit

Transferable courses must be at the 100-level (or above), taken at a regionally accredited college (up to 30 transfer credits from a nationally accredited college will be accepted) and with a grade of C- or higher.

Prior Learning Assessment

Bushnell University’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program gives students the opportunity to earn up to 30 college credits by leveraging knowledge gained through work or life experiences, allowing them to save both time and tuition. Whether you’ve developed skills in the workplace or through personal achievements, PLA can help you skip redundant coursework and accelerate your path to a degree. To learn more, visit our PLA Program page.

Military Training

Based on your military experiences and training, you may have college credit recommendations to apply toward a degree requirement or program of study. The first step in the process is to request a copy of your military transcript. For more information on requesting military transcripts, visit our veteran benefits page.
