According to the Charlotte Observer, the exam places an emphasis on a traditional liberal arts education and features classical and ancient texts from the Western canon.
The UNC system will accept it in fall 2027 for students with a GPA of 2.8 or higher.
The test has been endorsed by high-profile conservative politicians, but advocates say it’s not political.
