CLEP Exams at Ithaca College

Ithaca College is a private university in Ithaca, New York, overlooking Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region. The college is known for combining a residential campus experience with access to the cultural and natural resources of the surrounding area. It serves undergraduate and graduate students across a range of professional and liberal arts fields.

The college offers programs through several schools and divisions, with strengths commonly associated with communication, music, health sciences, business, and the liberal arts. Ithaca College is especially well known for its Roy H. Park School of Communications and its School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. Students can pursue both academic study and hands-on learning through internships, performance, and field-based experiences.

For transfer and credit-by-exam planning, Ithaca College is a school where students should verify credit applicability directly with the institution before relying on outside exam results. CLEP and other transfer credits are typically evaluated according to college policy, the student’s program, and how the credit fits degree requirements. Because policies can vary by department and major, students should confirm whether a specific exam or course will count toward their intended program.

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