Credit by College-Level Examination Program
You are eligible to earn CLEP credit if you have fewer than 90 hours of college credit. Credit can be applied only to a course in your program of study. In most cases, your scaled score must be higher than 50 to earn credit. Exceptions are noted below.
Credit is accepted by most individual schools and colleges but might not be considered by your specific degree program.
* Scores of 75 or better only ** Scores of 65 or better only
Dual Credit
We accept the majority of courses taken for dual credit at regionally accredited colleges or universities. The credit must be documented on a transcript and sent to Mizzou.
There are no limits on the number of dual credits you can earn. We recommend you check with your academic department to see whether the credits will count toward your major.
Credits are more likely to be accepted if they apply to your general education requirements rather than to courses within your major.
See our transfer course equivalency site to learn more about which dual credits Mizzou accepts. If your school is not listed, Transferology can give you an idea of how your courses will apply toward a degree at Mizzou.
