European-American University Redefines Education for the Modern World with Experience-Based Degrees

As the landscape of education continues to evolve, European-American University is responding to modern demands with its innovative Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE) program. This program allows professionals to earn Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degrees based entirely on their existing experience and any prior education they may already have—without the need for traditional classes, papers, or exams.

The traditional model of education, with its rigid structures and time-consuming coursework, is no longer the only path to academic success. European-American University’s VAE program offers a flexible, practical alternative that aligns with the needs of today’s students, who often juggle professional responsibilities alongside their educational goals.

John Kersey, President and Director of Academic Affairs at European-American University, speaks to the university’s forward-thinking approach: "Our VAE program is designed to meet the needs of the modern student. We recognize that professionals have already gained valuable knowledge and skills through their work and prior education, and our program provides a pathway to formal recognition of those achievements."

The VAE program is particularly beneficial for individuals who want to advance their careers without putting their lives on hold. By validating the experience and education they’ve already acquired, European-American University offers a streamlined process to obtaining a degree, making higher education more accessible and relevant than ever before.

European-American University continues to lead the way in adapting to the changing needs of the educational landscape. The VAE program is just one example of how the university is committed to providing flexible, inclusive options for students seeking to achieve their academic and professional goals.
