General transfer information

Up to 90 credits accepted in transfer credit toward a bachelor’s degree: academic coursework, professional training and certifications, work experience, military service, CLEP, DANTES, ACE-evaluated courses and training, Joint Services Transcript (JST) and Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) are considered.

APUS students come with a vast array of work experience and training, and APUS recognizes that not all learning has resulted from traditional classroom attendance. Their Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program provides you with the opportunity to earn credit for learning outside the confines of a traditional classroom.
