What CLEP does, despite the malevolent sound of the word, is provide human beings, from returning Viet Nam veterans to housewives, company employees, college dro p-outs, technicians and secretaries, a chance to turn learning they’ve gained outside the formal classroom into credit toward a college degree. Manchester college joir s about 100 other such “open test centers” in the midwest It is possible for an individual to gain college credit through the CLEP test without having even attended • a formal college class.
