Credit for Prior Learning

In addition to traditional transfer credit, a student also may receive credit for other types of prior learning. Students may offer for consideration credits earned through the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement (AP) Program, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), departmental credit by examination, and/or military training and experience as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE).

Credit earned through these specific programs may be used at Marietta College: 1) in satisfaction of elective credit; 2) in satisfaction of majors, minors, and certificates, subject to the approval of the department chairperson; 3) in satisfaction of the communication components of the general education requirements (subject to departmental policy for each examination).
