Lacrosse University offers a wide variety of distance education programs, which lead to degrees that do not place the usual time and on-campus attendance requirements on adult learners. As a nontraditional university, these degree programs have been developed to take into consideration the wealth of knowledge gained through an individual's life/work experiences, and equate it to college level credit. Some additional options utilized by Lacrosse to grant college level credit are through credit transfer, curriculum study, proficiency examinations and others.
