The new voluntary test, which the nonprofit behind it calls CLA +, represents the latest threat to the fraying monopoly that traditional four-year colleges have enjoyed in defining what it means to be well educated.</p>

<p>Even as students spend more on tuition—and take on increasing debt to pay for it—they are earning diplomas whose value is harder to calculate.

<p>CLA stands for Collegiate Learning Assessment. The 2010 book “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses” by Arum and Roksa was based on CLA results.</p>

<p>It would be nice if those who scored high on the CLA+ right after HIGH SCHOOL could be granted a college diploma. There are a some high school grads who are already better educated than a lot of college grads.</p>
