Subject Exams
Students may only receive CLEP credit in an area of study in which they have never taken college-level course work. For example, in Psychology, if a student takes PSYC 100 - Psychology: Science of Behavior , they may not sit for the Subject exams in Educational Psychology or Human Growth and Development. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, if a student takes PSYC 250 - Statistics , they may sit for the Subject exams in Introduction to Psychology, Educational Psychology and/or Human Growth and Development. Contact the Office of the Registrar with any questions about possible exceptions.
Four credit hours are awarded for all Subject Examinations unless otherwise noted. Each area of study is listed below.
