Dantes

DANTES mission is to help service members obtain credit for knowledge and skills acquired through nontraditional educational experiences. Since World War II, DANTES has sponsored and administered tests that provide qualified military personnel with the opportunity to obtain academic credit, gain admission to college, and receive professional certification on the basis of independent study and job experiences. In 1983, the DANTES credit-by-examination program was made available to all American colleges and universities.

DANTES offers tests in a wide variety of technological subjects such as electronics and technical writing. CLEP tests do not cover these subjects. DANTES tests generally cover one semester of an introductory course. CLEP tests often cover an entire year of work.

The City Colleges of Chicago now offers the DANTES exams every week: Tuesday through Thursday 9:00 am til 1:00 pm
