Centenary University’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Program is designed to help the adult learner combine college courses and life and/or work experience in a non-traditional approach toward earning a college degree. PLA lets you use your work experience for credit!

The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of 33 examinations. Earn credit for knowledge you’ve acquired through independent study, prior course work, on-the-job training, professional development, cultural pursuits, or internships.

At Centenary, we understand the needs and unique characteristics of all students who are making this transition. Our small, private school environment provides you with the tools needed to succeed. Enrollment Counselors at Centenary University will work with you through the entire admission process, from helping you complete your admission application to evaluating your transfer credits to helping you register for classes for your first semester! We want to help you transfer as many credits as possible toward your degree, and ensure you immediately feel like a part of our campus community.
