No. If you have work experience, that's great, but you don't need it. Nexford's programs are practical, which means you'll gain on-the-job skills while you learn.

If you do have work experience, we won't be able to offer credit just yet. We want everyone to start their program on a level playing field – that includes taking the same core courses and building the same foundational skills.

If you have studied at an institution outside US or Canada, you may be required to secure a credential evaluation report. Nexford University only accepts evaluation reports from credential services recognized by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or Association of International Credentials Evaluators (AICE).
