The College Proficiency Examination Program (CPEP) opens up the educational opportunities of the State to individuals who have acquired college-level knowledge in ways other than through regular classroom attendance by allowing these persons who lack formal college course work in a subject to demonstrate their competency in that subject on the basis of the concept of credit-by-examination. Anyone may take the examinations. Test results earn college credit, meet teacher certification requirements, and earn Regents External Degrees.
