CLEP/DANTES Tests
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the DSST (formerly
called DANTES) program allow you demonstrate your knowledge in certain
subject areas by passing standardized exams. You can earn credit for
what you’ve learned through self-study, advanced high school courses,
non-credit coursework, on-the-job training, or cultural pursuits.
Indiana Tech awards credit for passing both CLEP and DSST exams, and
Indiana Tech administers both exams at its Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and
Elkhart campuses. Contact the Warrior Information Network at
WIN@IndianaTech.net
or 888.832.4742 to schedule an exam.
