How to earn credits toward a university degree?
At present, PEOI does not award university degrees. PEOI is only a course content provider. Because employers prefer diplomas from well-established accredited institutions, it is to a student's advantage to earn credits for taking a PEOI course as part of a degree program at such institutions.
There are several ways university credits can be earned.
1)- enrolling in a university course that uses PEOI as the official
text.
2)- arranging with a faculty member to take a PEOI course as an
individual special study course at the university where the student
is already matriculated.
3)- arranging for PEOI to locate a university near the student
where the student can be tested for knowledge acquired from a
PEOI course. In other words, the student contacts PEOI, and PEOI
locates a university that has a qualified instructor in the discipline
involved, and where the student can register for the course.
4)- completing a PEOI course and being listed in the record of
PEOI registered students course completion after taking PEOI final
examination at an independent testing service provider, and having
a university recognize the grade as a transfer credit to be counted
as part of a degree program. Note that it is advisable for the
student to verify this with his/her university beforehand.
(In the future, PEOI will seek professional and academic accreditation, and may start offering professional programs certificates and degrees whenever a sufficient number of courses has been added.)
