General Education
As part of our effort to reduce the financial burden that adult learners face by returning to college, we highly recommend the use of credit by examination. Over 3,800 colleges and universities allow you to earn 25-50% of your degree by “testing out” with credit by examination. Passing CLEP, DSST (used by DANTES), or ECE exams can help you to achieve your education goals in less time and at a lower cost than traditional college.
The Alliance has invited proven providers to offer our members the highest quality products and services . To meet your needs, these providers all deliver multiple layers of academic support and work tirelessly to resolve the issues that have prevented individuals from achieving their dream of completing a college degree.
