These standardized exams are offered to allow colleges and universities to award credit for, or to exempt a student from, general education requirements in a variety of subjects by testing them on knowledge they already have. Passing CLEP and DANTES scores in English, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Humanities, and Mathematics can equal credit for classes offered in these areas at FTCC.
