Im interested in getting some CLEP credits to potentially hasten my path in Pierce College's military program. Does anybody know how they handle CLEP credits?
Many institutions, including Pierce College, often accept CLEP (College Level Examination Program) credits. This program allows students to earn college credit by demonstrating mastery in a subject through an exam.
While Pierce College, like most institutions, may accept CLEP credits, it's critical to first consult with a school advisor or the registrar's office. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information on the types of CLEP exams that the college accepts, the passing scores needed for each exam, and how the credits will transfer into your program of study.
Also, as you're considering the military program at Pierce College, consult with the program advisor as well. Not all departments or programs within a college may accept CLEP credits in the same way, so it’s important to understand how they specifically apply to your desired program.
Lastly, remember that while CLEP credits can indeed hasten your path, it's just as crucial to ensure that the credits you earn align with your academic and career goals.
