Credit for College Courses through Proficiency Testing

Proficiency exams are designed for students who have substantial knowledge (without college credit) in a given area.  Prairie State College recognizes that individuals engage in learning activities outside the formal classroom setting.  Individuals may receive college credit for these learning experiences by successfully completing a proficiency test and thereby demonstrating the depth of the knowledge they have acquired. Proficiency information is available for many courses offered at Prairie State College. For more information, please see the Proficiency Testing Information Handbook or contact Lisa Hansen at ahansen@prairiestate.edu.
