College Level Exam Program (CLEP)

The College Level Examination Program is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the country. Linn-Benton Community College is an open testing site for anyone wishing to take the CLEP exams.

Although LBCC offers all 34 CLEP exams, Admissions and Registration does not accept all CLEP exams for credit at LBCC.  For a list of accepted tests, click the following link: CLEP Exams Accepted by LBCC.pdf
