Alternative Degree Pathways
At Fisher, we celebrate all of your achievements—academic and otherwise—and provide various pathways for you to further your education and credentials. We consider your life and work experiences, including full-time and part-time employment, volunteer work, military service, organizational involvement, hobbies, and travel, as potential sources of transferable credit through our Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program.
Our Degree Completion Program is designed to help you streamline your education by allowing you to transfer up to 90 credits that you’ve earned from another accredited institution or through the PLA toward an eligible bachelor's degree program.
We offer students the opportunity to count courses taken at other institutions (through the Degree Completion Program) and/or employment and volunteer experiences (through the Prior Learning Assessment) toward earning a degree. Learn more about each of these options below.
