Original Course Creation

Modern States originally developed each course in collaboration with the professors who appear in the video lectures.

2025 Course Enhancements

In 2025, each course was refreshed and expanded with the support of a Subject Matter Expert (SME). SMEs ensured that the content remains accurate, current, aligned with CLEP expectations, and accessible for learners.
