We offer Prior Learning Assessment workshops and 1-on-1 advising during your first year to guide you in developing a portfolio that documents how you have met the outcomes of a specific Ramapo course through learning done outside of the classroom.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1457641514123{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
