Other Ways to Earn Credit
Villanova offers opportunities for people who have knowledge of certain subjects
but don't have the college credits to prove it.
- Through
Credit by Examination, you can pass a departmental exam, satisfy the Villanova
Part-Time Studies program's requirements and earn the credits for a particular
course.
- Another way to get credit for what you've learned in life is through the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
- The Psychology Department offers
one credit seminars on various topics which meet on the weekends and can
be applied toward graduation credits.
- If you are enrolled in a degree program in the College of Arts & Sciences,
you can participate in an Internship and earn credit for learning at your place
of employment.
