i would like to get college credit for starting a business. Is their a college that offer college credit?

Question

I need six college gredit to graduate, I am trying to receive college credit for over 12 years of business experience.

Answer 1

You can't directly get credit for work experience. But if you learned a lot about a certain subject (like, Basic Accounting Skills) you can challenge the class, I think by taking the final exam or by presenting proof that you know everything that is taught in the class.

Try your local community college.

Answer 2

Just remember that you want to try for credit in classes outside of your major. You are much more likely to be able to test out of lower level classes than advanced ones.

Most colleges require that you complete your last 32 credit hrs at their school in order to be granted a degree by them, though exceptions are sometimes allowed. No matter how you decide to do these last six credits, you should contact the last college that you attended and convince them to let you do these credits some other way and get your degree. Otherwise, you will have to take extra classes - exactly what you're trying not to do.
