BRATTLEBORO CENTER OFFERS CLEP TESTING

UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY’S BRATTLEBORO CENTER NOW ONE OF THREE CLEP AND DANTES NATIONAL TEST CENTERS IN VERMONT
Tests can help learners earn degrees faster

BRATTLEBORO, VT – The Brattleboro Academic Center at Union Institute & University (UI&U), a non-profit private university that offers undergraduate and graduate programs designed for the adult learner, is now certified to administer the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) test, designed to accelerate a learner’s degree completion.

Learners take CLEP tests for a variety of reasons. Some use the computer-based tests to shorten the time it takes to earn a college degree, thereby saving money on tuition and fees. Others take them to move on to more advanced courses sooner, complete basic requirements in order to take more electives, or satisfy college requirements. Tests are available in several subjects in disciplines including composition and literature, science and mathematics, foreign languages, business, and history and social sciences.

“By offering these tests, we are furthering our mission to help adult learners in earning a bachelor’s degree through programs that are both accelerated and affordable,” said Dr. Gregory Stewart, Vice President of Enrollment Management for UI&U.

The tests are open to the public, however, registration is required. CLEP tests are $70 per test. In addition, UI&U charges a $14 administrative fee. Members of the military pay no administrative fee for CLEP testing.

For more information or to register for testing contact Robert Wubbenhorst, Assistant Director/Admissions, Brattleboro Center at 802.257.9411 ext.8914 or at Robert.wubbenhorst@myunion.edu.
