College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations are offered through the Educational Testing Service and confer college credit in two categories: general examinations, which include English, humanities, mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences; and examinations in specific subjects. CLEP examinations allow students to earn college credit by demonstrating their mastery of college-level material in introductory subjects. A maximum of 60 credits earned through the CLEP process will be accepted towards a degree at Worcester State University. Additional information and applications are available through the Academic Success Center.
