Understanding Credit-by-Examination Opportunities
Many colleges and universities acknowledge the value of standardized exams such as the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DSST by awarding credit to students who achieve qualifying scores. This approach allows students to potentially bypass certain introductory courses, facilitating a more efficient and cost-effective path to degree completion.
Researching Institutional Policies
Each institution establishes its own criteria regarding the acceptance of CLEP and DSST exam credits. To navigate these policies effectively: CLEP+1Modern States+1
