CLEP Exams at Claflin University

Claflin University is a private historically Black university in Orangeburg, South Carolina. It was founded in 1869 and is one of the oldest HBCUs in the state. The university serves undergraduate and graduate students in a campus setting in the city of Orangeburg.

Claflin offers a range of academic programs across the liberal arts, sciences, business, education, and related professional fields. The university is known for its HBCU heritage and for providing a student-centered undergraduate experience. It also offers graduate study in selected areas.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Claflin University should be treated as a private, regionally accredited institution that may evaluate prior learning and outside coursework through its own academic policies. Credit-by-exam and transfer decisions are typically made by the university on a course-by-course basis rather than by a universal rule. Students should confirm whether a specific CLEP exam or transfer course applies to their intended major or degree plan.

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