Can FINRA licenses count as college credits at Northeastern University?

I'm thinking about attending Northeastern University, but I'm curious if any of my FINRA licenses can be transferred as college credits. Does anyone have experience with this or know if Northeastern recognizes such licenses for credit?

At Northeastern University, prior learning, such as industry licenses, certificates, and professional training, can sometimes be evaluated for credit toward your degree. However, this process and its outcomes can vary depending on the specific program or degree you're pursuing.

While Northeastern does have a process for evaluating Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credits, it's important to note that the decision to award credit for such experiences is made on a case-by-case basis, and the standards for awarding such credit can vary. This program is primarily for the College of Professional Studies, so depending on your program, your FINRA licenses may not qualify.

Normally, you would submit your FINRA licenses along with any supporting documentation to demonstrate your level of proficiency. Northeastern’s faculty would then evaluate whether or not the learning associated with these licensures aligns with the learning outcomes of a course in your chosen program of study.

While many colleges do recognize professional licensures like FINRA licenses and consider them in their credit evaluation processes, it would be best if you reached out directly to Northeastern's admissions or registrar's office. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information concerning credit evaluations for licensing and work experiences. It would also be beneficial to converse with an academic advisor who can guide you through the process once you're at the university.
