Where do you want your Euclid experience to take you?

STANDARDIZED TESTS

Another way to earn credit is through standardized tests. Standardized tests are (US) administered exams created to evaluate students and compare knowledge levels.

Euclid University has a standard yet generous policy of accepting tests, defining a passing grade and awarding hours of credit.

Like most universities, Euclid has a limit on the number of credits that can be awarded through exams.

Because our policies are under review, we recommend that we contact our admissions service for evaluation.

• College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
  Offered through College Board , CLEP is a series of exams covering general subjects. The five general exams cover mathematics, English composition, humanities, natural science, and social science and history. Another type of CLEP exam is the subject exam. A subject exam covers specific subjects typically taught in undergraduate courses having similar names. Students may be able to obtain 3-12 hours of credit per general exam for a passing score. Books on exam preparation with sample tests can be found in bookstores, libraries, and on the Internet.
  
• Graduate Record Exam (GRE)
  The GRE is normally required for students entering graduate school. However, it is sometimes used to assess prior learning at the undergraduate level. There are two types of tests available through the GRE. One is a general test that measures skills acquired over a long period of time that are not related to any specific field of study. The other type is a subject test that measures achievement in particular fields of study. The general test is offered through computer-based or paper-based testing. The subject test is only offered through paper-based testing.
  
• Job Ready Assessments
  Job Ready Assessments are often used to obtain credit or advanced standing in vocational and technical fields. They are used to measure knowledge and how that knowledge is applied. Job Ready Assessments are based on national standards and include a written and performance assessment. Approximately 75 Job Ready Assessments are available. In the US, students should call 1 (800) 334-6283 to find a testing center.
  
• Defense Activity for Nontraditional Educational Support (DANTES)
  Students who have served in the military may obtain college credit through DANTES. DANTES is used by colleges and universities to award credit to students who can demonstrate knowledge of subjects commonly taught in introductory college courses. It provides a testing program, an evaluation system for military technical training and a system for documenting learning experiences gained through military services.
