Also, you said they don't line up with the ECE program, but I can't find what the degree requires, nor can I find their Gen Ed requirements, so you need to post those to see if CLEP will line up with those (they might with GE, they surely won't for ECE). CLEP is not going to line up with any sort of major because the exams weren't made to do that - they're mostly for Gen Ed courses (a few business classes are the exception).
Here are the degree requirements. https://engineering.rowan.edu/programs/e...table.html
The Gen Ed requirements are listed in the degree.
I know my son can CLEP out of some of the classes....but I just realized that this will be tricky. Every semester has a required engineering clinic. My goal is obviously to eliminate semesters... Of course I will be contacting them, but nobody is around for a week...

That's my goal to have him CLEP out of gen eds - there are just very few of them. I am also going to have him do dual enrollment through our county college for math and sciences also. This is what they have on their website about transfer credit:(12-22-2019, 03:22 PM)ACI Wrote: Thank you! I have seen the links for the CLEP page, however none of the Rowan equivalencies listed match specifically to classes in the Engineering program. So, I was just wondering if anyone had personal experience with what transferred. Engineering programs seem to be more rigid and specific as to what can be taken.
If my son is in high school still and we are looking down the road 1-2 years....Will a college testing department answer specific questions about what will/won't transfer (ex. asking: Will DSST test Intro to Religions count toward your global literacy requirement?) - or do I need to be closer to the time of enrolling before they will dedicate that kind of time answering my questions.
Engineering is a difficult degree to test out of. However, wouldn't doing cleps for englishs, social sciences, etc. speed up the degree? If one could clep out of the non math science and engineering courses if might speed up the degree by a year. Depends on the school though.
"While there is no limit to traditional course credits transferred (from an accredited college or university), University policy requires a minimum of 30 credits be completed through Rowan University coursework. Most of the time, this means that up to 90 transfer credits are applied towards the degree/program. Depending upon the individual situation, credits will fulfill general education, major requirements, and/or electives."
So, that's good I think! I just don't know how this works with engineering. The Rowan ECE program has a required engineering clinic every semester....my goal is to eliminate semesters... https://engineering.rowan.edu/programs/e...table.html
