College Level Examination Program® (CLEP®)
CLEP® is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the United States today, helping students of all ages earn college degrees faster by getting credit for what they already know. CLEP® General and Subject examinations are accepted for credit by more than 2,900 colleges and universities.
CLEP® consists of a series of examinations that test an individual's college level knowledge gained through course work, independent study, cultural pursuits, travel, special interests, military service schools, and professional development.
The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends the minimum score for awarding credit, but each institution determines its acceptable score and the amount of credit granted for each examination. By receiving a satisfactory score, you can typically earn from 3 to 12 college credits toward your college degree for each CLEP® you take, depending on the exam subject.
