The goal of the program, dubbed “Freshman Year for Free,” is to make college more accessible and affordable for high school students, college students and adult learners, including active duty military personnel, their families, and veterans.  \nWHO IS MAKING THIS POSSIBLE?  \nModern States, the New York-based charitable organization behind the effort, has funded production of online courses taught by college professors. The courses prepare students for introductory College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams in Economics, Sociology, Algebra, and other areas.  \nHOW DOES THIS LEAD TO CREDIT?  \nThe CLEP exams, administered by the College Board, are accepted for credit by more than 2,900 colleges and universities. To launch its program, Modern States is partnering with high schools and colleges that are making students aware of the opportunity.  \nWHY PARTICIPATE?  \nThis is the first time there have been courses (see list below) taught by top quality college professors for CLEP subjects. Also, Modern States is paying the $87 test fee and scheduling fee for students who enroll in the coursesand take the exams. The benefit for participating institutions is that this creates a free on-ramp to college that facilitates learning and earning credits.  \nWHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?  \nModern States will pay for you to take the CLEP exam. After you complete the coursework and practice questions, request a CLEP voucher code from the Modern States website. There are no prerequisites for the 32 courses that will be offered, and all of them are self-paced. Some of the courses stem from a partnership between Modern States and edX, the online education platform created by Harvard and MIT.  \nCOURSES AND CLEP EXAMS  \nFinancial Accounting, Information Systems, Intro Business Law, Principles of Management and Principles of Marketing  \nAmerican Literature, Analyzing & Interpreting Literature, College Composition, English Literature and Humanities  \nAmerican Government, History of the US I & II, Human Growth & Development, Intro to Educational Psychology, Intro Psychology and Intro Sociology  \nPrinciples of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics, Social Sciences & History and Western Civilization I & II  \nBiology, Calculus, Chemistry, College Algebra, College Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Precalculus  \nFrench Language, German Language and Spanish Language  \n[www.modernstates.org](www.modernstates.org)","cbCaivjzbZy7O75q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivjzbZy7O75q","pdf",177856,"English","# Program Overview\n## Who Is Making This Possible?\n## How It Leads to Credit\n## Why Participate\n## What Else to Know\n# Courses and CLEP Exams","[{\"question\":\"Who can participate in “Freshman Year for Free” and earn credit through CLEP?\",\"answer\":\"High school students, college students, and adult learners can participate, including active duty military personnel, their families, and veterans.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students get from the courses to receiving college credit?\",\"answer\":\"Students complete coursework and practice questions, request a CLEP voucher code from the Modern States website, then register for the exam and schedule at a test center using the voucher code as payment.\"},{\"question\":\"Are there prerequisites for the offered courses and are they self-paced?\",\"answer\":\"There are no prerequisites for the 32 courses, and all courses are self-paced.\"}]","Modern States Freshman Year for Free | PDF",1790519178]
