The College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) has been the most widely trusted credit-by-examination program for over 50 years. CLEP allows students from a wide range of ages and backgrounds to demonstrate their mastery of introductory college-level material and earn college credit. Students can earn credit for what they already know by getting qualifying scores on any of the examinations. General examinations may be used for elective credit. Subject examinations are suitable for meeting some General Education requirements.
If you have acquired knowledge through independent study, prior course work, professional development, on-the-job training, cultural pursuits or in some other manner and would like to test your mastery on a CLEP exam please complete the below steps.
