Credit for Work Experience

Westbrook University is like other educational institutions in that it awards degrees to individuals who demonstrate appropriate levels of proficiency in their fields of study. Experiential credits may not exceed 30% of the incoming credits and may not be applied toward a Doctoral Degree. Such credits may only be considered for the Bachelor and Master Degree Programs. Doctoral candidates are not eligible for experiential credits. The Dean of Students and the Academic Dean will evaluate appropriate documentation for consideration of waived credit hours.

The US Department of Education has mandated that work experience for waived credit hours towards a degree program be properly documented. There are several variations which may be considered. The student will need to submit one of the following depending upon their chosen area of study and whether the work experience is related to the degree the student is seeking.

• Licensed individuals may need to submit a copy of their license showing the date the license originated. Example: “Licensed since l986 – Valid through 2008”
• Military personnel may submit their MOS documents signed by their Commanding Officer
• A letter from an employer stating that the student has been in practice for more than five years (including date of hire) along with a job description and proficiency rating. Work experience of less than 5 years will not qualify nor be considered.
