Assessment of Prior Learning While the stated prerequisites would not satisfy any of the competencies or performance indicators, graduate students may request to have an assessment of prior learning (e.g., meeting of required competencies, required by our accrediting body, ACEND) after admission to the MSND Program. The graduate student needs to be able to demonstrate which competencies were met by the course or experience, and how that course or experience meets the required competencies. This is done by request, after admission to the MSND Program, and all requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Only graduate-level courses or experiences that have taken place within the last five years (and graduate-level courses successfully completed at regionally accredited U.S. universities*, taken for course credit and for a course grade) will be assessed for attainment of required competencies upon request. For work experiences to be eligible for assessment, graduate students must meet all the following criteria: Minimum of 2000 hours of the work experience to be assessed (this is about 12 months full-time) Work experience to be assessed must have been accrued under the supervision of a professional qualified to work in the field Work setting must have been in a clinical, public health, food service, or community setting Work experience to be assessed must have been accrued within the previous 5 years Examples: Public health/WIC Nutritionist; Food Service Directors or Managers; Dietetic Technicians, Registered (NDTR) The following examples would not be eligible for assessment of prior learning: Undergraduate courses or course-related practicum or experience Food distribution volunteer at a food bank Personal trainer at an athletic facility Owning a nutrition, health, or wellness coaching business Any self-employed experience Experiences over 5 years ago Graduate students will need to identify the Required ACEND Competency(ies) and Performance Indicator(s) that have been met by prior learning and/or experience(s), and show documentation of how each competency was met, along with providing a reflection of their learning on that learning and/or experience(s). Upon approval, this documentation would also be included in the student’s e-portfolio. The following materials would be required documentation for a prior learning assessment to be considered for attainment of competencies: 1. An official transcript demonstrating a grade of B or higher in the course and showing the year the course was taken. 2. A detailed syllabus for each course detailing the learning activities in English. 3. A complete resume or CV which can identify the work experience, company/facility, dates of employment, total hours in position, position title, description of your position (including purpose, major responsibilities, functions, and what and how work was performed). 4. The competencies and performance indicators the student have identified as being met by her/his prior learning/experiences. 5. Provide samples of your work to support that the competencies were met. Examples include but are not limited to: projects, reports, seminars or presentation, audits, in-service sessions, marketing content, menu or recipe review/development webinars, educational materials, lesson plans, budget reports, training certificates, performance appraisals, and licenses. Additional information may be requested. Materials must be submitted within 1 week of the request. 6. Self-reflection on each learning experience, which would be included in her/his required digital reflective e-portfolio. *For MSND Students entering with degrees from non-US Institutions, a course-by-course evaluation by a credential evaluation agency is required to assess equivalency.

Recognition is considered one of the nation’s most comprehensive measures of transfer student success. We are honored to be recognized by Phi Theta Kappa as one of the nation’s top transfer-friendly institutions.” Institutions are evaluated using data from the National Student Clearinghouse and PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa’s online platform connecting community college students with transfer opportunities. On average, 88% of transferred credits were applied toward students’ degrees, and 76% of transfer students received merit-based financial aid. In addition, all accepted transfer students are awarded scholarships ranging from $20,000 to $27,000 per year.

We generally review transfer credits from other institutions in which a student has earned a 2.0 GPA or higher. By utilizing this service, a student can enter into the transfer process knowing which credits will be accepted. King's will accept up to 60 credits in transfer; half of the major requirements need to be taken at King's.
