College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the United States. It allows students to demonstrate the college-level knowledge they have gained through prior academic study, independent study, professional experience and/or cultural pursuits.

Students who successfully complete a CLEP exam may:

• Enrich their degree programs with higher level courses in the same discipline.
• Expand their horizons by taking a wide array of electives.
• Avoid the need to repeat material that they already know.

Students may take CLEP exams at more than 1,300 testing centers nationwide. Computerized test delivery allows students to take CLEP exams on demand, when they are ready. It also provides instant scoring.

Carroll University grants credits to students who have achieved a qualifying score on specific CLEP examinations. A maximum of 48 credits of CLEP may be awarded. Credits earned through CLEP may be used for major, minor, core, and liberal studies requirements, or general electives toward graduation.
