College Level Examination Program (CLEP)/DANTES
Cochise College accepts both the general and the subject examinations of the CLEP/DANTES for college credits provided satisfactory scores are attained. Scores of 50 or above on all general examinations will entitle you to six credits in each of the five general examinations: English composition (with essay), humanities, mathematics, natural sciences (not to include credit for laboratory science requirements) and social sciences. CLEP scores and credit for foreign languages are as follows:
Spanish French German Credits
40-49 39-48 39-45 4
50-54 49-53 46-50 8
55-61 54-62 51-59 12
62-80 63-80 60-80 16
You must complete at least one Cochise College course before credit may be granted for CLEP/DANTES. Credit earned under CLEP/DANTES may not be used toward the 16 resident hours required for a degree. Three to 16 credits, depending upon the examination, may be earned by scores of 50 or better on the subject examinations. Contact Testing and Tutoring for a list of tests available and the corresponding number of credit hours.
If you take CLEP/DANTES examinations, duplicate credit will not be awarded in subjects at the same level. You will not be awarded credit through CLEP/DANTES for courses equivalent to, or at a lower level than, other courses you have already taken through formal course work.
You may earn up to 30 credits of college credit by taking CLEP/DANTES examinations. However, credit granted by Cochise College does not obligate any other college or university to accept such credit.
