Are there any Accredited colleges or Universities that give degrees for life experiences?
If so what the names of the legitimate ones?

I have the same question. Did you receive any positive answers?

There are some colleges and universities that will give a bit - only a bit - of general credit for life experience. The process is worth about 2 credits. Not worth a degree that is for sure.

The only university I have heard that does the life experience degree is the U of TYMAR (Take Your Money And Run).

THANKS! I hear you. I have a masters degree and had done all of my course work for a doctorate when I got married. That was 10 years ago. Then I had a baby and then another and I never went back to finish. The university wants me to start over since it has been 10 years. I don't need the degree to advance on my job. I just want the title:-)
