CLEP Credits at Duquesne University

Duquesne University is a private Catholic university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the Bluff overlooking downtown. It was founded by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit and is known for combining a values-based mission with urban access and professional education.

The university offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through its schools and colleges. Duquesne is especially known for programs in health professions, business, law, education, liberal arts, and the sciences, along with research and service-oriented learning.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Duquesne University evaluates prior learning through its own academic policies rather than automatically granting credit for every exam or course. Students should expect credit decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program requirements. The university's transfer and credit-by-exam policies are the best source for current eligibility details.

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