Purpose of the Testing Program

In our efforts to provide students with quality education at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, the Testing Program provides students opportunities to receive credit in areas of demonstrated academic proficiency. Academic proficiency is measured utilizing credit by examination programs as listed on this page. When academic proficiency is demonstrated, the University is then able to grant the student appropriate advance standing, elective credit, or equivalency credit. A further benefit of the Testing Program is assisting the student in avoiding academic redundancy where, as aforementioned, demonstrated proficiency is established. The following examinations are utilized/accepted in the UMHB Testing Program:

• ACT National Assessment
• ACT Residual Assessment (Institutional use only)
• CLEP Examinations
• AP Examinations
• IB - International Baccalaureate
