Ty Wells, a Business & Leadership major, just submitted his Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio totaling 27 credits. Ty’s experience resides mostly in the food and hospitality industry, and he was able to use those learning experiences to write PLA essays for the following courses:
- Conflict Management
- Public Presentations
- Team Building
- Foodservice Organizations
- Management Fundamentals
- Introduction to Winemaking
- Foodservice Production and Principles
- Small Business Management
- Principles of Accounting
In his Final Reflective essay, Ty wrote, “The end result is that I am far better equipped as a writer.” As Ty describes in this video, for students like him, PLA can be a gift that keeps on giving.
CONGRATULATIONS TY!

That was cool to hear! Congrats Ty.
[...] Ty Wells – 27 credits through PLA [...]
Twenty-seven credits is a considerable accomplishment. Congratulations. I’m interested in knowing what the Marylhurst record is for PLA.
Students may earn up to 45 credits through the PLA program (25% of their degree). So there’s no “record” really – it all depends on a student’s goals, degree plan, and depth and breadth of prior learning.
