I'm idly curious....I not really planning to go for a master's degree when I finish my undergrad, but I haven't ruled out the idea for the future. Can someone tell me if CLEPs or DSSTs can be applied to a master's degree?

Cleps are all lower level and the Dantes upper level exams are only for undergraduate degrees.

YIKES - so we're on our own?! No IC, no testing out?!

It's not unusual for MBA programs to accept CLEP and less often, DSST exams, to waive some background courses.

I believe some schools will let you apply GRE exams toward master's degree credits.

I found that after I tested out of my BS degree that I was going into withdrawals too. Come to find out, the same study habits I used for Cleps and Dantes I could apply towards my MBA at CCU. It was a bit different...a bit more in-depth but just as doable as any other tests. A Masters is just the same as any other test, just more in-depth. Don't be intimidated by it...You can do it too!

It's not clep or dsst, but you can get credit for the PMP and Microsoft certs from Charles Sturt and Aspen.

In fact, I believe Charles Sturt awards 6 credits for MCSE/DBA which is half the degree (it's 12 credits).

So, if you're a certified Microsoft guy (and I think they do it for Oracle too) - you may already be half way to a masters.
