Apparently it’s now possible to get college credit for the things you already know.

A new website, Degree.com, is offering people the opportunity to get real college credit for information they’ve accrued throughout their everyday lives. Most people have a good deal of background knowledge about one or two subjects, if not more, and with this program now being offered at universities and places of higher learning across the country you can put that knowledge to tangible use.

Whether you’ve been schooled in the art of gourmet cuisine or just have a thorough grasp of world history or politics, there are now real options for use of that knowledge. This program could certainly prove useful to potential students who may hold reservations about going back to school. Because you can now translate your everyday knowledge into college credits, you won’t need to earn as many. And the less credits you need, the less time you spend taking classes and the less money you spend on those classes.

You can even make use of this program at universities offering online courses. This press release from PRWeb.com details everything you’ll need to know to take advantage of this new program that allows you to go into an online or real world college with credits in tow.
