Yes. Whether you need a few final credits to finish your degree, left college years ago, or went straight into the workforce after high school, Modern States courses can help you towards earning college credits. You earn credit one exam at a time, on your own schedule, without re-enrolling in a full course load.
Why it works for returning and current students
• Fits around your life. Study at your own pace — evenings, weekends, lunch breaks. There are no deadlines or class schedules.
• Uses what you already know. Work experience, self-study, and past coursework all count when it comes to passing an exam. Many returning learners test out of subjects they have used in real life.
• One step at a time. You do not need to commit to a whole degree plan today. Passing one CLEP exam is a concrete, confidence-building first step.
• Free to start. Modern States courses are free, and the Modern States CLEP Scholarship can cover the CLEP exam fee for eligible learners who complete a course.
How Modern States helps
Modern States is a nonprofit with free online courses taught by college professors, each designed to prepare you for a specific CLEP exam. Complete a course and its practice questions, and eligible learners receive a voucher code for the exam fee to enter during College Board registration.
Check your school first
CLEP credit policies vary by institution. If you plan to return to a specific college or transfer credits toward a degree, confirm with that institution which CLEP exams they accept and how the credit will apply before scheduling an exam.
What to do next
Pick one subject — ideally something you know well from work or life — and start there.
