The College Board administers the College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP®), which offers affordable exams that allow students to earn college credit for knowledge they already have. The CLEP Information Systems exam assesses fundamental concepts, terminology, and applications typically taught in an introductory college-level business information systems course.
The exam emphasizes concepts and techniques applicable across various platforms and environments, rather than hardware design or language-specific programming skills.
By taking and passing the CLEP Information Systems exam, you may be able to:
- Earn three or more college credits
- Save money (the exam costs significantly less than a college course)
- Graduate on time—or even ahead of schedule
- Add flexibility to your degree plan
- Skip an introductory business information systems course
Before registering, be sure to confirm that your college accepts CLEP Information Systems exam scores.
