About the Team 

The ACCUPLACER and CLEP team is responsible for the development, delivery and customer experience of two digital assessment programs that serve a diverse group of high-school, college, and adult students. Both programs strive to serve students wherever they are on their educational journey, regardless of the path they took to get there. The ACCUPLACER program offers a series of digital assessments that evaluate students’ skills in reading, writing, and math and helps colleges and workforce training providers gauge student readiness for required coursework and identify areas where students may need additional support to succeed. CLEP is a credit-by-examination program that covers over 30 introductory college-level subjects. It gives learners an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills acquired through prior learning and earn college credits at many colleges and universities, saving them time and money in their pursuit for college degrees.
