UNC System to accept new CLT standardized test for admission

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The UNC System will soon accept a new standardized test for admission.

It's called the Classic Learning Test or CLT.

The exam places an emphasis on a traditional liberal arts education and features classical and ancient texts from the western canon.

The test has been endorsed by conservative politicians, but advocates say it’s not political.

They will begin accepting CLT scores in the fall of 2027.
