Is there a University that gives degree based on work experence.?

Answer 1

Well....not on a large scale. There are such things as Honorary Doctorates, but those are reserved for special people--authors, humanitarians, etc. who make a difference to the community or university (like, JK Rowling--author of Harry Potter--got an Honorary Doctorate). Otherwise, no; if you want a degree, you have to go to a university--or attempt to do one online (that's a whole other story). Like someone said, you can only get college credit for COURSES through internships, but it won't amount to a full degree--it just counts as a class. There are usually limits on how many internship credits you can use; at least there was at my school.That's about all. Take some night classes or weekend classes; I think you'll find it surprisingly rewarding...Good luck!

Answer 2

Haha. No, there aren't, not in the United States at least

Edit: There are a lot of idiots who answered after me. In the U.S., no university gives out an accredited degree based on 'work experience'. There are web sites where you can download, or get mailed to you, a piece of paper that says some things which might be interesting to you, but I'm guessing you knew this already

Answer 3

No..........guessing you don't have a college degree but want one. There are all types of night classes, weekend classes and online classes that you can take to obtain a degree. Also, there are many types of grants or student loan programs that are there to assist you. You can do it my friend, it's just going to take some time and effort. Remember, nothing worthwhile is easy.

Answer 4

It's called co-op. Many universities have it. You get credit toward your degree will in a paid internship with a company.

Answer 5

I know for fact that some colleges will award and, in some cases, allow a student to advance according to this (Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas will do this). To get a degree based on TOTAL work experience...I've never heard of that.

Answer 6

Fake degrees, yes. Not real degrees. They are not worth the paper they are printed on, but they cost a lot more than that, and claiming one as a real degree means you can be prosecuted for fraud. So don't bother.

Answer 7

Yes, there are some, but they are not respected and the degree won't get you much. Even in the case of an internship, which is essentially giving college credit for a small amount of work experience, it should not just give you credit, but should give academic assignments around the work experience, asking you to tie your theoretical knowledge to the work, so they can be sure that you actually learned from it.
