College Credit for PMP Certification

Geri Dezendorf Hastings On Hudson, Ny, United States

Hi,

I'm enrolled in a BS undergraduate degree program that awards credit for prior learning experience. I would like to submit my PMP certification for evaluation and am trying to determine the number of college level credits to request.

In researching this, I was surprised to find that the PMP certification is not on any list of standard evaluations. I've also not received any feedback from the folks at PMI.

If you have gone through this process, I would appreciate any information you could share with me to help me move forward on this.

Thank you,
Geri

I have a degree in project management, does the courses I took 5 years ago count at the education courses or do I need to do online courses like Linkedin Learing?

I still believe that whatever credit is being sought out, should be submitted to whatever institution or organization that is being applied to prior to commitment to entity especially if that credit was earned 5 years prior.

You may want to go to ACE (American Council on Education) website and view some course providers of "project management" to see if you can bridge their information for recommended college hours to the program for the institution being applied to. Or just apply directly to an institution that already awards college credit for PMP Certification (i.e. WGU).

In recent years, many certifications provided by PMI have included optional e-learning courses as part of their offerings. I’m curious whether these training components currently qualify for recognition by the American Council on Education (ACE) for college credit recommendations.

If they are not yet ACE-approved, it might be worthwhile for PMI to explore this opportunity. Gaining ACE approval could add significant value for certification holders, enhancing the appeal of PMI programs by allowing learners to potentially earn academic credit toward degree programs. This would further position PMI as a forward-thinking organization that supports lifelong learning and professional development in a way that aligns with academic advancement.
