College Level Examination Program

Some if not most of MR’s commentariat are aware of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). You may be surprised, however, at the number of parents and students who are completely unaware of the program. Imagine paying or taking out a loan of $300-$1500 for a 3-5 semester hour course that your child could have tested out of for $65. That is right: $65.00. In my opinion the examinations are not difficult. Twenty-seven years ago I took these exams, received 48+ hours of undergraduate credit, and economically boycotted my college’s humanities courses. If I could do this, then so can you or your children.

Take a moment to review this list of free vocational education manuals. Back in my Marine Corps days I used the math and science books from the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Naval Personnel, the Naval Education and Training Command, and the Marine Corps Institute to prepare for the CLEP examinations. Furthermore, I prepared for the Art section of the Humanities test by going to the public library and reading artsy fartsy books on Western and Oriental art written for sixth-graders.

CLEP examinations

“Get college credit for what you already know. Be rewarded for what you’ve learned through independent study, advanced high school courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development.

“Compare the cost of a CLEP exam, just $65, to hundreds — even thousands — of dollars in tuition.

“Move right into advanced courses.

“Demonstrate you’ve already mastered the content of, for example, a basic math or language course.”

“CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. A college usually grants the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination as it grants to students successfully completing that course.”

CLEP for professionals

“The 34 CLEP examinations comprise five subject areas usually covered in a two-year degree program or in the first two years of a four-year program:

*Composition and literature
*Foreign languages
*History and social sciences
*Science and mathematics
*Business

“Five of the examinations cover material taught in the core courses required by most colleges. For these exams, colleges may grant credit in the general area in which credit is earned, rather than for a specific course. These exams are:

*College Mathematics
*Social Sciences and History
*English Composition (with or without essay)
*Natural Sciences
*Humanities

In the savings category we can add the excessive costs of student housing and subsistence to direct tuition and price inflated mendacious text books.

Steve Sailer has just published an important article here:

http://www.amconmag.com/2008/2008_02_11/article.html

on the political implications of affordable housing and white family formation. Sailer focuses on the cost of decent housing in neighborhoods with ‘decent’ ( a proxy for mainly white) schools. The costs of quality education are another component of white family economics at the end of the white child rearing process.

“and economically boycotted my college’s humanities courses.”

I said this before but it I think it’s worth repeating.

Institutions like the University of Delaware and mutant Negroid Khazar Shakti Butler’s program for white auto-genocide make good fund raising grist for Amren, Duke and similar. Institutions like UofD have evolved into semi-autonomous city-states, complete with their own state charters, police forces and ‘governance’.

An ancient fundamental principle of warfare states that the way to conquer such fortified city-states is by protracted siege warfare. And the first step in establishing a siege is to surround the target and cut off its external supplies. The deprivation and starvation weakens the defenders physically and encourages discord among them over whether to negotiate or surrender. It is at that point the city-state is ripe for the final storm assault.

The non-Movement neos/kluxers, the Paleos and the generally Patriotarded consistently miss the points raised by people like us and Sailer: “It’s about young white people, stupid.”
