For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Baruch College should be treated as a CUNY institution that evaluates prior learning and transfer work through its own academic policies. Credit-by-exam and transfer credit decisions are not automatic and depend on the college’s official evaluation process, the subject area, and how the credit fits the student’s degree requirements. Students should confirm current CLEP acceptance and score requirements directly with Baruch or CUNY before testing.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on Baruch'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. Baruch College - CUNY transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
