There are 38 subjects from which one could earn credits for knowledge outside the classroom.
Whether the subject matter is Business or Mathematics, something available would appeal uniquely to each person.

DSST exams have resulted in roughly $43.5 million in college savings for active-duty military personnel, veterans, and civilian students.
This program allows students who have already demonstrated knowledge in the subject to pass an exam; instead of going through a complete semester of coursework and lectures.
