At 56, Linda McCampbell discovered she could get the college degree she always wanted. A Nashville paralegal for 30 years, McCampbell last year attended an eight-hour workshop to judge how her life experience might be cashed in for academic credits at Lipscomb University. The promise was alluring: the possibility of knocking months off a college education McCampbell had long abandoned as out of reach. It turns out she qualified for an entire academic year’s worth of credits, and at a fraction of what two semesters of tuition would have cost. “It wiped out my freshman year,” says McCampbell, who earned those credits by proving she could deal with a full inbox of tasks and solve problems with a group.
