Tests offer way
to skip courses
by Lynn Falco
Battalion Reporter
Undergraduates can test out
of a variety of classes through
credit by examination, says Dr.
John Green, a research psycho
logist in charge of testing ser
vices.
Green said Measurement Re
search Services offers two diffe
rent programs in which students
can test out of classes.
The College-Level Examina
tion Program, which is given on
a national level, is offered
approximately every three
weeks through the Measure
ment Research Services office at
a cost of $25. The University
accepts approximately 20 diffe
rent CLEP subject examinations
including several levels of En
glish, mathematics and history.
Green said CLEP tests cover
typical course content that has
been examined and validated by
professors in those depart
ments.
Departmental examinations
also are offered for students
wishing to test out of certain
courses. To get approval for tak
ing an examination, students
must petition through the dean
of their college to the depart
ment offering the course.
Green said the most frequent
ly requested departmental ex
aminations are for required
political science, mathematics
and foreign languages. Cost of
the departmental examinations
is $15.
CLEP tests and departmental
examinations were designed to
help students move through
undergraduate work quickly
and efficiently, Green said.

and the Century Singers, music
coordinator Robert Boone said.
Students interested in the
groups should report immedi

Each group has a unique style

The Singing Cadets is the
oldest of the vocal music groups
and members have traveled
throughout the world for per
formances.
Robert Boone took over dire
ction of the group in 1960. Since
then, the group’s tours and per
formances have increased to 40
or more annually. The Singing
Cadets have performed in the
White House, on the Ed Sullivan
and Mike Douglas television
shows and for the Miss Teenage
America Pageant.
The Singing Cadets are the
only group with a prerequisite
of a minimum grade-point ratio
of 2.0. Boone said their exten
sive traveling schedule is re
sponsible for this. Approximate
ly 20 spaces are open m the Sing
