Yes, Study.com courses and credit by exam are widely accepted at thousands of colleges.


Study.com college courses are recommended for credit by ACE and NCCRS, and are accepted at over 2,000 colleges and universities nationwide.


CLEP and DSST are national exams that let you earn college credit by testing out of a subject. You register, study, take the exam, and—if you pass—request that your score report be sent to your college. Acceptance policies vary, so always check with your school before scheduling an exam.


Before starting any course or exam prep, check with your school's academic advisor to confirm:

  • Which Study.com courses or exams will transfer to your program
  • What minimum score you need (typically 70% for Study.com courses)
  • How the credit will apply to your specific degree requirements
  • Any limits on transfer credits your school may have
