College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Sponsored by the College Board, CLEP (the College Level Examination Program) offers 34 exams covering information presented in many lower-level college courses. Credits earned though a CLEP Exam can be used to fulfill MPTC program requirements. In addition, most colleges and universities throughout the country award credit for CLEP Exam results meaning your CLEP Exam scores can be used when pursuing your bachelor’s degree after MPTC as well.

To be awarded credit, an official CLEP Score Report for Colleges needs to be sent to MPTC by the College Board. If you have previously completed a CLEP Exam, please contact the College Board and request your CLEP scores be sent to Moraine Park.

Please note – student score reports can be submitted for review purposes, but cannot be used to award credit.
