CLEP Exams at Georgia State University

Georgia State University is a public research university in Atlanta, Georgia. It is part of the University System of Georgia and serves a large urban student body in the state capital. The university’s main campus is in downtown Atlanta, with additional campuses in the metro area.

Georgia State offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across many fields. It is especially known for business, law, public policy, education, health-related fields, and strong research activity. The university is also recognized for its focus on student success and access.

Georgia State is generally transfer-friendly and accepts transfer credit from regionally accredited institutions, subject to university and program review. CLEP credit may be available for qualifying scores, but acceptance depends on the specific exam, score, and degree requirements. Students should confirm current policies with the university before relying on exam credit.

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