CLEP Credits at Carthage College

Carthage College is a private liberal arts college in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, though it serves students of many backgrounds. The college offers a residential undergraduate experience with a campus community centered in southeastern Wisconsin.

Carthage offers undergraduate majors and minors across the arts, humanities, sciences, business, education, and health-related fields, along with graduate and professional programs. The college is known for its liberal arts approach, small-college setting, and emphasis on experiential learning, including internships, research, and study away opportunities. Students can combine broad general education with focused study in a major.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Carthage is the kind of institution that typically evaluates prior learning through its registrar and academic policies rather than granting blanket credit automatically. Students interested in using CLEP scores or transfer coursework should expect review against Carthage's published credit policies and degree requirements. Acceptance of exam or transfer credit can depend on the subject, score, course equivalency, and how the credit fits the student's program.

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