CLEP Exams at Florida A&M University

Florida A&M University is a public historically Black university in Tallahassee, Florida. It is part of the State University System of Florida and serves students on its main campus in the state capital. The university is known for its long-standing role in higher education for African American students and for its broad public-university mission.

Florida A&M offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across a wide range of fields. Its academic strengths include programs in business, education, engineering, agriculture, pharmacy, nursing, and the sciences, along with liberal arts and other professional areas. The university is also recognized for research activity and for preparing students for careers in public service, health, STEM, and the professions.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Florida A&M University is the kind of public university that typically evaluates prior learning through established academic policies rather than granting automatic credit for every exam or course. Students considering CLEP should verify in advance whether a specific exam is accepted and how it applies to their intended major or degree plan. Transfer credit decisions can depend on the subject, score, and the requirements of the receiving college or department.

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