The philosophy behind “credit for life experience” can be expressed very simply: Academic credit is given for what you know, without regard for how, when, or where the learning was acquired. . . .

The most common error people make when thinking about getting credit for life experience is to confuse time spent with learning. Being a regular church-goer for thirty years is not worth any college credit, in and of itself. But the regular church-goer who can document that he or she has taught Sunday school classes, worked with youth groups, participated in leadership programs, organized community drives, studied Latin or Greek, taken tours to the Holy Land, or engaged in lengthy philosophical discussions with a clergyman, is likely to get credit for those experiences.
