  • Subject: Question 3: Certification
  • Topic: Emerging Modes
The last question for today concerns certification:

Should students be able to "test out" of requirements for degree or certificate programs?
  • What role should colleges and universities play in this area? For example, should they:
  • be in the business of certifying sets of skills no matter whether those skills were acquired formally or informally?
  • allow students to test into certification programs, to make entry into programs more open?
  • follow standards set by the State or by private industry, or determine their own standards?
A summary with background information about this question will be posted as a reply to this message.
