Of course, we help you maximize your existing credits. They’re yours, after all.

Customizable degree plans provide students tremendous flexibility. So you can tailor your degree around your unique educational goals. If you already have an associate’s degree, you can apply it toward a bachelor’s through our advanced start program.* Our universal degree plans are also designed to let you transfer the maximum amount of credits possible, helping you stay on the shortest path to your degree.

Prior Learning Assessment
Kaplan University advisors will carefully assess each program at your current campus to determine how credits can apply toward a Kaplan University degree. Then, we’ll create a custom Academic Worksheet for you so that you’ll have a clear, concise understanding of your transfer path. Eliminate the surprises. Maximize your momentum.

Advanced Start Programs
For students who already have their associate’s degree, Kaplan University offers advanced start programs specifically designed to provide transfer students with the shortest path possible to their bachelor’s degree. We are always adding degree options and emphasis areas to our advanced start programs, so check with an Admissions Advisor for the latest offerings.

Talent sometimes changes its mind. And that’s OK.
