Credit-by-Exam and On-line Courses

Credit by Exam Courses:

Our Credits by Exam Courses are similar to CLEP tests as you must have the knowledge required to pass the exam without benefit of sitting in a class. If you pass the exam you will be given credit. There is minimal documentation to assist in your exam preparation. The exam will be graded on a Pass/Fail.

Unless noted otherwise, all courses are the equivalent of three (3) credit hours.The available Credit by Exam courses are subject to change. New course exams are added yearly and are listed in the College Catalog.

On-line Courses:

Our On-line courses are made available in cooperation with several other colleges and universities. These are the same courses you would be taking in a residence class with the convenience of being at a location of your choice. Some of the courses are supported with extensive documentation and resources. Others are more minimalistic.

There is a final examination when you have completed your studies. The exam will be graded on an A, B, C, D, and F basis. Points will be assigned from 4 to 0, with 4 being associated with an "A" on the exam. All courses are equivalent to three (3) credit hours unless otherwise noted.

There are Undergraduate as well as Graduate courses available. Courses related to our master level program in Peace Studies are so noted. These on-line courses are subject to change. New courses are added as they become available and are posted to the list on this web page. Please check back often to review available classes. The current course list is as follows:
