Prior
Learning Assessment in Art
Prior learning assessment (PLA) is a process designed
for learners who seek college-level credit for what they have learned
from experience and who can demonstrate that learning. PLA may be
used to demonstrate some but not all program outcomes.
You may be eligible for prior learning assessment related to some
studio art courses and some early education field experiences if
you can answer yes to some of the following:
- Used theory and frameworks to understand artmaking
and art

courses, seminars, workshops, training, or continuing education
programs) related to artmaking and art
- Took coursework relevant to artmaking and art
at a nonaccredited college
- Participated significantly in or initiated an
organization
- Experienced meaningful travel in the United States
and/or elsewhere
- Participated in paid or volunteer experience
(hobbies, pastimes) related to artmaking and art
- Received licenses, professional or artistic awards,
or certificates
- Created/developed a product, publication, artistic
work, innovation, or program

to artmaking and art.
