Fully admitted nontraditional students may be able to receive college credit for significant work/life experience through the Portfolio Assessment Program. The program is designed for adult students who believe they have gained college-level learning through significant volunteer experience, work-related training, and work experience. A portfolio process is used whereby students prepare descriptions of their previous learning and experiences which correspond to specific college coursework at BGSU. Portfolios are reviewed by a faculty member, who determines whether this learning experience is appropriate for earning college credit. Students wishing to participate in the Portfolio Assessment Program should schedule an interview with the Director of Adult Learner Services. A preparatory course for preparing an effective portfolio is required. A maximum of 30 credit hours may be earned toward a baccalaureate degree (15 credit hours toward an associate degree) through the Portfolio Assessment Program.
