WHAT IS CLEP?
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations in 35 introductory college subjects allowing individuals to earn college credit for what they already know regardless of how that knowledge was acquired – through advanced course work, independent study, work experience, professional development, or extracurricular activities. Our college awards credit for successful scores on CLEP exams.
