You've probably earned more college credit than you realize. If you've worked a job, served in the military, earned a certification, or taken classes years ago, a lot of that can count toward a real degree — most people just never find out. AlreadyEarned translates the confusing world of college credit into plain English and shows you how far along you might already be. Answer a few quick questions and see: An estimate of how many credits you may already have toward an associate's or bachelor's degree Roughly how much time and tuition that could save you Accredited schools that tend to honor the most of your credit — ranked for YOU, not for whoever pays us Campuses near you, with a travel-distance filter, plus online and hybrid options A clear, personalized checklist of what to do next We work for you, not for any school. AlreadyEarned doesn't recruit for any college and isn't paid by them to rank them. We rank schools by how much of your credit each one keeps — and we'll even tell you when an in-person community or technical college is the better fit. Built on real, public data. School details come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and federal accreditation records, so you're looking at accredited, currently-operating institutions — including which ones are regionally accredited (the credits that transfer most easily). Free, private, and ad-free. AlreadyEarned is free to use. We don't collect or sell your data, there are no ads, and if you turn on location it's used only on your device to find nearby campuses. If the app helps you, you can support it by grabbing some merch — completely optional. A learning section explains the terms students get stuck on — transfer credit, prior learning, accreditation, CLEP exams, and more — because not understanding the system is one of the biggest reasons people never go back. Important: All credit figures are estimates to show you what's possible. Every school makes the final credit decision, so always confirm with a school's admissions office before enrolling.
