State or Industry Recognized Credentials
Mitchell may allow credit for industry recognized, and state regulated credentials such as apprenticeships, certifications, and professional licensures if the work is relevant to the student’s program of study. These credentials are often aligned to non-collegiate instructional programs, such as those that lead to certifications and licensures and frequently demonstrate competency attainments required for credit bearing certificate, diploma, and degree programs. A minimum of 25% of credits required for a degree, diploma or certificate must be taken at Mitchell in order to graduate.
