Through our partnership, AFA leaders can earn college credits for courses offered by AFA and the National Labor College.

► AFA will offer a minimum of 12 credits in approved courses.

► AFA will offer a required Educational Planning Course (at a reduced cost to our leaders).

► National Labor College- AFA Leaders must complete 15 credits through the NLC residency program.
 

A FLEXIBLE PROGRAM

The National Labor College of the George Meany Center for Labor Studies, Inc., has developed a unique program in an attempt to satisfy the educational needs of union members who often cannot be served by traditional educational institutions and conventional mechanisms. The program is a flexible, largely external approach that allows students to pursue a Bachelor's Degree while continuing their trade union work. As an independent, accredited higher education institution, the National Labor College is able to offer a variety of educational opportunities, including:

► Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

► Union-based Training for College Credits

► Evaluation of Experiential Learning Credit for Prior Work Experience

► Joint Degree Programs such as AFA's
