College-Level Examination Program

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Board enables students to earn college credit by examination. The General Examinations of CLEP (English Composition, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences-History) may be taken to apply toward the General Education pattern of courses at East Stroudsburg University. Such examinations should be passed at the 50th percentile.

Subject matter examinations may also be taken under the CLEP program. Students shall not be given credit for both General and Subject examinations in the same areas. Normally CLEP examinations may not be counted toward the student’s major field of study. Interested students should contact the Transfer Center staff in the Student Enrollment Center. Official CLEP results should be forwarded to the Admission Office, for consideration.
