Military Credit For Prior Learning (MCPLE)
MATC recently revised the entire MCPLE program to better serve our student veterans. This program is also continuously being updated as more faculty and departments update their specific program course credit requirements. We also strongly recommend that you speak to the MESO military advisor for specific MCPLE and program advisement/information based on your individual educational goals. MCPLE information and application processes are available on the MATC homepage, student services, getting started, credit for prior learning and experience.
