With DSST, adult learners can earn well-deserved college credits – from respected and fully accredited colleges and universities – without even taking a course. Adult learners see DSST exams as a “short cut” to their college degrees, a short-cut that could save them money, and shave months off their degree completion requirements.

DSST Exams are Well Received

Students who earn passing grades on DSST exams can earn college credits in as many as 38 unique subjects. Disciplines include Business, Humanities, Mathematics, Physical Science, and more. From personal accounting to public speaking, from your health to law enforcement or ethics, there’s a DSST subject exam for just about anyone. And because DSST exams are only $80 per test, each passing grade saves a student hundreds of dollars, when compared to the cost of taking an equivalent college course in the subject.
