CAPS Recruiters Help You Access an Affordable Pathway to Success
You can make college financially accessible through CAPS’ generous transfer credit policies, credit for prior learning and robust support for veterans. Student recruiters will help you maximize your previous educational experiences, benefit from flexible learning options and discover dedicated resources to reduce tuition costs.
Credit for Prior Learning
Through programs like the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES Subject Standardization Tests (DSST), you can convert prior learning into college credits by demonstrating your knowledge through exams. This approach helps you save time and reduce tuition costs, making it easier to advance toward your degree while leveraging what you already know.
