CLEP®
CLEP exams let students demonstrate college-level knowledge. Credit policies vary by university; passing does not guarantee credit everywhere.
What is CLEP?
The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP), developed by the College Board, offers 34 exams covering introductory college material in business, composition, mathematics, science and the humanities. A passing score can earn three or more credits at more than 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities.
Why take CLEP?
Graduate sooner
Students who pass often finish their degrees months earlier.
Use what you know
Turn self-study, work or prior learning into college credit.
