Abstract	This paper examines programs of course credit by examination in American higher education. After a brief sketch of the credit-hour system, various programs in actual operation are described. The ensuing analysis focuses on the following issues: appropriateness of various subject-matters to programs of credit by examination; attitudes towards credit by examination; results for participating students of credit by examination programs; financial costs and benefits of credit by examination; and patterns of examination design and administration. A four-page bibliography is included. (Author/CL)
