CLEP Credits at Lewis Clark State College

Lewis-Clark State College is a public college in Lewiston, Idaho, in the north-central part of the state near the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers. It serves students from the Lewis-Clark Valley and beyond, with a campus that is closely tied to the region it serves. The college is known for offering accessible higher education in a smaller-college setting.

The college offers undergraduate degrees, career and technical education, and selected graduate study, with programs spanning liberal arts, business, education, health, and technical fields. Lewis-Clark State is also widely recognized for its strong teacher education tradition and for providing practical, career-oriented pathways alongside transfer-oriented coursework. Its size and mission support close faculty interaction and hands-on learning.

Lewis-Clark State College accepts transfer credit and participates in the broader transfer-credit environment used by many U.S. colleges, including credit earned through examination when it meets institutional standards. Students considering CLEP or other exam-based credit should check the college’s current policies and course equivalencies before testing. As with most institutions, acceptance can depend on the subject, score, degree program, and how the credit fits the student’s academic plan.

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