Credit for Work Experience:
Recognizing that professional students already possess a wealth of knowledge in their chosen field, Kennedy-Western University’s evaluation process grants credit for previous experience by taking the student’s educational and professional experience into account. Thus, the qualified student does not have to repeat basic courses that have already been mastered. Because of this unique approach, five years of full-time work experience are required to be considered for admission into the University.
