The DSST Credit-by-Exam Program (formerly known as Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational
Support, or DANTES) can shorten your pathway to graduation and reduce your college costs. DSST exams assess knowledge gained outside the classroom and EICC may award you college credit for passing scores.
Additional information about this credit by examination opportunity, including testing
centers, can be found at getcollegecredit.com.
