to complete this 60 unit degree.
The
A.Min.
program has been specifically designed
for the older student who has little if any college
experience. Applicants for the A.Min. program

with a core curriculum of 30 units. You may

only. Your previously earned credits may come
from a combination of college-level, technical school,
military training, or

Of course, you may also make up some (or all) of the
30 non-core credits by taking one or more elective
courses,
and the good news is that you may take any of these
elective courses through one of our three study
methods:
standard distance course,
totally online, or as a

relevant adult learning experiences, or necessary

GOOD
NEWS! We do not charge
full tuition for the recognition of
life-experience credits. Since some schools do
charge full tuition for the granting of
life-experience credit, (up to 50% of the cost of
tuition in some cases), the MISD policy may result in
a substantial savings for older and more experienced
students.
