The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the United States, helping students of all ages earn college degrees faster by obtaining college credit for what they already know. By receiving a passing score, you can earn from 3 to 12 college credits toward your college degree for each CLEP  Test you take, depending on the exam subject.

►Contact the Institution you are obtaining your degree from to inquire if they accept CLEP credits.  UMF does not.
