The Chicago School of Liberal Arts and Sciences
(CLAS) is a graduate degree granting institution
created for mature adults with significant
lifetime experiences, activities, and learning
beyond an undergraduate degree seeking to achieve
a level of recognition to enhance their personal
and professional credentials.

Students earn their Master degree by preparing a
portfolio of experiences, training and learning
activities over their lifetime. You have gained
knowledge from work, seminars, on-site/off-site
job training, volunteering in the community,
military service, independent reading, open
source course ware study.

Now you just have to demonstrate that learning so
you can earn the graduate credit you deserve.

CLAS has developed the Adult and Experiential
Learning Assessment (AELA) process. We have a
team of experienced faculty to evaluate
portfolios submitted for graduate credit.
6
AELA team members are tenured graduate faculty at
CLAS with extensive backgrounds and knowledge in
adult and experiential learning.

CLAS was founded by a group of experienced
educators and professionals with more than a
quarter century of combined experience and
practical knowledge who believe in, and value
experiential learning.

We want to help you bring your past learning and
experience to your future.
