Uncertainty about the program has led to a lot of confusion, Giroux admits. He says that some people believe incorrectly that the university will give credit for work experience. But if people can demonstrate, for instance, that they’ve learned a great deal about accounting after working in the field for years — and can prove that in a test — the UW could award them credit for it. This allows people to test out of certain modules of a course, and move onto areas they don’t know. “We’ll never give anyone college credit for what they’ve done,” says Giroux. “Our goal is to give credit for what they’ve learned.”
