PATHWAY CONNECTION

Hudson County Community College developed a prior learning assessment (PLA) process and template to articulate credit for non-credit courses and industry-recognized credentials for students. This PLA model provides a seamless process that does not require each student to individually obtain approval for articulation or require administrator approval for each student. This new process only requires that students provide documentation of completion of the course(s) or the industry recognized credential to the Registrar.

Using the PLA model, three SCPro Fundaments credentials have been determined to articulate to 3 college credits/each for a total of 9 college credits for all three credentials. The credentials are (1) Supply Chain Management Principles, (2) Transportation Operations, and (3) Warehouse Operations.

These college credits for industry credentials provide a pathway to the Transportation, Logistics, and Distribution Certificate into the Associate of Applied Science in Supply Chain Management degree.
