Earn Your Degree Faster and For Less
CSU Global accepts a variety of alternative credit options that enable students to earn their degree quickly and at reduced cost. Alternative credit options allow you to demonstrate competency, knowledge, prior experience, and independent learning in a particular subject area. Take advantage of your previous skills and experiences to transfer in credit toward your academic goals.
Alternative transfer credits can be used in addition to community college transfer credits, but cannot exceed the overall transfer credit maximum. As a bachelor’s degree student, you can transfer up to 90 credits toward your degree. Master’s degree students can transfer up to 9 credits from a previously attended institution.
Alternative credit options include self-study assessments, prior learning assessments, and credit by exam.

“CSU Global offers a PLA program that allowed me to use my 25 years of experience to ‘test out’ of courses. This saved me time and allowed me to earn my degree in a shorter time period. The instructor was available and supportive throughout the process.”
