Life Learning Credits
Adult students bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, and professional experiences to the classroom. That is why at OkWU we offer the opportunity for you to earn credits for life experiences. We recognize that many individuals have achieved a significant degree of educational growth through personal reading and informal study, as well as through intellectual, cultural, vocational and volunteer experiences.
