DSST – Credit by Examination

If experience is the world's greatest teacher, then your experiences may well qualify you for college credit.

DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) are exams recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). The nationally recognized DSST Program helps you receive college credits for learning acquired outside the traditional classroom through a suite of exams in many college subject areas.
