Abstract | This 50-State Comparison focuses on Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) policies, which refer to a process to award academic credit for prior learning. This process involves assessing the learning and workforce skills a student has acquired through life and employment experience. Assessments can be performed using a variety of tools such as a portfolio-based review, or internally or externally developed examinations. If the college or university determines the student's knowledge to be equivalent to college-level learning, the student may be awarded academic credit. Education Commission of the States researched PLA policies in all states to create this comprehensive, interactive resource. A state received a "yes" if its policy requires or allows each public higher education institution or entire postsecondary system to award credit for prior learning. System-level initiatives, programs and collaborations are excluded from this review. Hyperlinked data tables for 50-state comparisons showing how all states approach school accountability are provided. A specific state's approach can be viewed by going to the individual state profile page. (ERIC). |
