CLEP provides for recognition of college-level achievement acquired outside the conventional classroom.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>The Citadel will award credit to individuals achieving a score on a CLEP Subject Examination equal to the&nbsp;average exam scores of students who earned a grade of C in a regular college course in that subject.&nbsp;<br><br>CLEP credit may not be earned for courses in which a student has attempted the relevant subject matter at any college or university, including The Citadel, prior to taking the CLEP exam. In addition, students&nbsp;successfully completing a CLEP exam may not earn credit for the equivalent course at The Citadel.&nbsp;Furthermore, credits earned through CLEP will not be counted as part of a student&#8217;s residency requirement for graduation.&nbsp;<br><br>Each academic department determines the amount of credit for a CLEP examination awarded based on the subject matter taught in their courses. Students who wish to take one or more of these examinations&nbsp;should contact CLEP directly for information about testing sites.&nbsp;<br><br>The Citadel does not award credit for the CLEP General Exam. The minimum required score for all CLEP&nbsp;computer-based exams is 50, which represents the performance of students who earn a grade of C in the corresponding college course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>CLEP Exam&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&nbsp;Minimum Score&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Citadel Credit<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&nbsp;Credit Hours&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>American Government<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>LDRS 202<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>American Literature<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ENGL 215<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Analyzing &amp; Interpreting Literature<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ENGL 208<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Biology<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>BIOL 101, 111<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Calculus<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MATH 106<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chemistry<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>CHEM 151\/161<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>College Algebra<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MATH 104<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>College Composition<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ENGL 201 <strong>AND<\/strong> 202<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>College Composition Modular<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ENGL 101<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>College Mathematics<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MATH 105<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>English Literature<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ENGL 201 or 202<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Financial Accounting<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ACCT 201<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>French Level I<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>FREN 101, 102<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>French Level II<\/td><td>59<\/td><td>FREN 101, 102, 201, 202<\/td><td>12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>German Level I<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>GERM 101, 102<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>German Level II<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>GERM 101, 102, 201, 202<\/td><td>12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>History of the United States I<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>HIST 201<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>History of the United States II<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>HIST 202<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Human Growth &amp; Development<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>PSYC 202<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Humanities<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>FNAR 206 <strong>AND<\/strong> (ENGL 208 or FNAR 205)<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Information Systems<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>CSCI 110 or MGMT 421<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Intro to Educational Psychology<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>GNRL 101<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Introductory Business Law<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>BLAW 301<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Introductory Psychology<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>PSYC 201<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Introductory Sociology<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>SOCI 201<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Natural Sciences<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>GNRL 150<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Precalculus<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MATH 119<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Principles of Macroeconomics<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ECON 202<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Principles of Management<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MGMT 301<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Principles of Marketing<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>MKTG 101<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Principles of Microeconomics<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>ECON 201<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Sciences &amp; History<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>GNRL 101<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spanish &#8211; Level I<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>SPAN 101, 102<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spanish &#8211; Level II<\/td><td>63<\/td><td>SPAN 101, 102, 201, 202<\/td><td>12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Western Civilization I<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>HIST 103<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Western Civilization II<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>HIST 104<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>**Course(s) awarded depends on declared major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE: Students will not be awarded duplicate credit in the event acceptable scores for the same subject are presented from Advanced Placement or other subject examinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College-level Examination Program (CLEP) College-level Examination Program (CLEP) enables students to establish, by examination, college credit at The Citadel.
