Life experience degrees… we have all heard of them. But do they really exist? Yes and no. Many reputable colleges and universities allow you to earn credit for life experience. They do not, however, allow you to earn your entire degree through life experience. Only diploma mills make those kinds of promises!

Although you might not have the answer to all of these questions right now, it may help to know that numerous online colleges and universities afford students the opportunity to “take a test drive” before enrolling in their online program.
