CLEP Exams at Azusa Pacific University

Azusa Pacific University is a private Christian university in Azusa, California, in the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles. It was founded in 1899 and serves students through a main campus in Azusa along with other instructional locations and online offerings. The university is known for combining faith-based education with a broad range of academic and professional programs.

APU offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across areas such as the arts and humanities, business, education, nursing, psychology, theology, and other health and social science fields. The university is especially recognized for its Christian mission, service-oriented culture, and programs that prepare students for professional licensure and graduate study. Its academic structure includes both traditional classroom learning and flexible formats for working adults and other nontraditional students.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Azusa Pacific University evaluates prior college-level learning through its own transfer and credit policies rather than assuming automatic acceptance of every exam or course. Students should expect credit decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program. Because policies can change and may vary by major, students should confirm current CLEP and transfer-credit rules directly with the university before relying on outside credit.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on APU's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. Azusa Pacific University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
