Credit by Examination/CLEP
Missouri State University-West Plains welcomes students from a wide variety of backgrounds and learning experiences. Many students come to the university with a firm grounding in many of the disciplines we teach. We recognize and honor their prior learning by accepting a full range of College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, which measure their mastery of collegelevel, introductory course content in a wide range of disciplines. Students meeting the credit- granting score of 50 will earn the credits and course exemptions for the following courses: CFD 155, ECO 155, ECO 165, HST 101, HST 102, HST 121, HST 122, MTH 135, MGT 120, PLS 101, PSY 121 and SOC 150. Students meeting the credit-granting score of 50 on the foreign language tests will receive 6 hours of credit for FRN 101 and 102, GRM 101 and 102 or SPN 101 and 102. See “Advanced Placement” previously in this “Academic Regulations” section to see the limit of the number of CLEP hours accepted.
