You may transfer up to 16 courses taken at accredited colleges and universities; these courses can count towards a Muhlenberg College degree. Muhlenberg College requires an official, sealed transcript of all transfer coursework to be sent directly to the School of Continuing Studies from previous academic institutions for review. Most colleges/universities have online transcript requisitions, typically available on the Registrar's website.

There are other ways students may obtain credit for prior learning. The following are different ways the School of Continuing Studies measures academic performance:

CLEP testing: Students can demonstrate their knowledge and earn credit for prior learning by taking a CLEP exam (College-Level Examination Program) in their familiar subjects. The test is administered by appointment in the School of Continuing Studies office on a computer directly linked to College Board CLEP. Please call the office at 484-664-3300 for more information or visit www.collegeboard.com/clep

Military Experience: Certain military experience can be assessed for credit in accordance with the guidelines established by ACE (American Council on Education). Your academic advisor will need a copy of your VA DD214 form and any other military record documentation, such as your AARTS or SMART transcript, stating specific dates, duration, qualification and location of your training. Visit Muhlenberg College's Veteran's Portal for more information.

Prior Work/Career Training Experience: The School of Continuing Studies assesses work experience on a case-by-case basis. Adult learners bring a lifetime of learning from their workplace to the classroom. Much of this experience can be directly applied to college-level credit. The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends baccalaureate credit for a career-focused education provided by certain companies, societies, associations, and institutions. We call this training "Credit for Prior Learning."

It is advantageous for you to speak to your academic advisor about any career training you have received and/or career examinations you have passed. Ultimately, your advisor will need specific documentation from the company administering such training to determine its college creditworthiness. Specifically, you will need to obtain the following: 

• The number of hours you attended
• Course description about the type of training/examination
• Certificate or proof of achievement written by the administering company
• Information about whether or not you had to take an examination to receive the certificate of achievement.

Muhlenberg College uses a course unit system to emphasize the mastery of subject matter in contrast to the credit system, which measures achievement in terms of time spent in class. A course as a unit of instruction may include a combination of lectures, discussion, recitation, computer work, group projects and laboratory work. The course is the entire learning experience, not merely the time spent in the classroom. Such an approach delegates students greater responsibility for their education and encourages active learning. Many institutions may not use a course unit system similar to Muhlenberg’s. The Muhlenberg course unit should be equivalent to 4 semester credit hours for all transfer transactions.
