To assist the student in meeting these responsibilities, each student is assigned an academic advisor. An integral part of teaching responsibility at Bethany College is that of advising. It is the role of the academic advisor, as well as of certain other designated professional personnel, to assist the student by interpreting the academic program of the college in order to help plan academic programs which fit the student s abilities, interests, past educational experiences and future goals. Students interested in CLEP or Advanced Placement credit either prior to or after admittance into Bethany College are requested to contact the Office of the Vice President and Academic Dean. General examinations are given in English Composition, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Social Sciences and History.
Subject examinations vary in title according to content.
CLEP examinations, available at over 1400 test centers, including Bethany College, are administered on a continuing basis. Credit is awarded at Bethany College for each of the five general examinations when the score is 500 or above. Examinations in such programs are administered in mid-May in such high schools and other test centers nationally. Advanced Placement examinations vary according to content. Credit and course equivalencies granted are usually the same as the introductory course in a discipline.
