CLEP Exams at Caldwell University

Caldwell University is a private Catholic university in Caldwell, New Jersey. It was founded by the Sisters of St. Dominic of Caldwell and serves students in the New York metropolitan area and beyond. The university’s campus is located in suburban Essex County.

Caldwell offers undergraduate and graduate study across a range of disciplines, including liberal arts, business, education, nursing, and health-related fields. The university is known for its Catholic and Dominican heritage, which shapes its mission and campus culture. It also emphasizes small classes and personalized instruction.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Caldwell University is a regionally accredited institution, so credit evaluation is handled through the university’s own academic policies and registrar processes. Students seeking to apply exam or transfer credit should confirm in advance whether a specific course, score, or prior college work will be accepted toward their intended program. Policies can vary by major, degree level, and residency requirements.

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