Students attending Mesa State College may earn college credit by examination in certain subject areas on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES Examination Program.

Credit may also be earned by subject matter tests offered through various departments at Mesa State College (Department Challenge examinations). Students must have completed 12 semester credit hours of course work at Mesa State College before challenge credits will be recorded on a transcript. Registered Nurse (RN) students seeking credit for prior nursing learning experiences should see the Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the Academic
Programs section of this catalog.
