College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College Level Examination Program of the College Entrance Examination Board is designed to evaluate atypical educational experiences. The examinations are divided into the General Examinations (which cover material so broad in scope that they are not generally comparable to courses offered for majors or minors in an area) and the Subject Examinations. The scores indicated below are the mean scaled scores.

Subject Examinations

Students may earn credit through satisfactory scores (as recommended by the American Council on Education) on the Subject Examinations as indicated. (Note: Enrollment in the equivalent class prevents the student from attempting credit by examination in that class.)

No CLEP tests can be taken after the last date to register for a course during a student’s last semester before graduation.
