As it turns out, while college is a wholly different experience from any other academic environment, it still shares a few similarities with high school. One of the biggest is the course load placed upon you, especially during your first year in school. Many colleges have a set of required courses students must take as part of their general education requirements. Without taking this assortment of courses, students cannot graduate.
However, for any number of reasons, you may not want to take certain first-year courses. Take Western Civilization II: 1648 to the Present, for instance. You may be a budding history major and feel you’re already knowledgeable enough about this subject.
Alternatively, you could be majoring in something else and simply not want to devote a time slot to this particular course when you could be studying something more relevant to your interests. Regardless of your reasoning, know you have options at your disposal to help avoid taking this class.
Your main option comes from the College Board in the form of the CLEP Western Civilization II: 1648 to the Present exam. The CLEP is designed to help you earn the credits you need toward graduation without taking one or several first-year college courses of your choosing.
