College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) provides two types of examinations: 1) General Examinations and 2) Subject Examinations that are available in a variety of disciplines. The University of the Incarnate Word does not award credit for General Examinations. Subject examinations recognized for credit are listed below. Students interested in these examinations should contact personnel in the Testing Center for information regarding costs, testing dates, and procedures for having test scores submitted for consideration for credit. The University faculty in each discipline area sets standards for satisfactory credit. In some instances, the required score will be slightly above the ACE recommendations.
Refer also to the Credit by Examination policies cited earlier in this section.
