I'm planning to take several CLEP exams to get college credit. Does anyone know which universities are generous with accepting CLEP credits? Trying to maximize the use of these credits in my college plan.
Many universities and colleges across the United States accept CLEP (College Level Examination Program) credits, but the specifics can often vary by institution. Here are a few that are known for being generous in accepting CLEP credits:
- Excelsior College: This online college is typically very generous in accepting CLEP credits. Most of their degree programs accept a significant number of CLEP courses.
- Charter Oak State College: Another online institution, they tend to accept a wide range of CLEP exams towards their degree programs.
- Thomas Edison State University: This institution is friendly to students who bring in credit from a variety of sources, including CLEP.
- University of Maryland Global Campus: Previously known as University of Maryland University College, this institution also generally accepts a variety of CLEP exams.
- Arizona State University: This public university is typically generous towards accepting CLEP credits.
It's important to remember that acceptance of CLEP credits can vary, not just by institution, but also by specific degree program within the institution. Always check with an admissions counselor or review the school's official policy on their website before making any decisions. Carter out!
