Experienced Adult Program (EAP)

The College of Saint Rose recognizes college-level learning gained outside the traditional classroom through its Experienced Adult Program (EAP), which enables students to earn credit by documenting their learning through a portfolio process.

Credit is granted for knowledge acquired through experience, not for the experience itself. A successful portfolio may include documentation of work experience, volunteer activities, seminars, military service, independent inquiry, other learning activities, or a combination of the above.

The portfolio process begins after a student has been admitted to the College. It should be submitted early in the program, so that the student’s degree plan can stay on track and can accommodate any revisions brought on by portfolio review. An evaluation fee is payable at the time of portfolio submission.
