DSST (DANTES) Equivalencies

The DSST (formerly DANTES Subject Standardized Tests) provides an opportunity for BC students to earn college credit for prior knowledge in certain subject exams available by DSST. To qualify for college credit, students must earn an appropriate passing score on the nationally administered exam. 

Broward College uses the minimum scores, credits, and guidelines for awarding credit for exams established by the State of Florida's Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC). For additional information, please review Broward College Policy 6Hx2-4.11 and Broward College Procedure A6Hx2-4.11.
