Students can take DSST exams to earn college credit for knowledge acquired outside of the traditional classroom.
Passing a DSST exam puts you in a faster track to obtain your college degree. Studying at your own pace makes it easier and less stressful. At a fraction of the cost of a regular 3-credit course, earning the college credit you need is more affordable!
DSST is a key partner for colleges and universities in their efforts to increase graduation rates, student retention and veteran-focused programs.
Over 1200 institutions worldwide benefit their student community by delivering DSST exams. Make your institution a test center!

Recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), the 38 subject-level exams are offered in diverse disciplines and cover upper and lower-level baccalaureate credit courses. Thousands of colleges and universities recognize and recommend DSST exams for credit to students of all kind, from adult learners to returning veterans!
Students who participate in Prior Learning Assessment (such as DSST exams) are more likely to graduate. And graduate faster!

It is a great time-saver in that students may be able to enroll in advanced classes, rather than entry classes, and therefore they may graduate sooner.
