The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) an activity of the College Board, makes examinations available through which a student may receive credit toward the bachelor’s degree. Two types of examinations are offered: five general examinations (English composition, humanities, mathematics, natural science and social sciences) and a number of subject examinations ranging from American Government through Western Civilization.
