CLEP Exams at Lincoln Memorial University

Lincoln Memorial University is a private university in Harrogate, Tennessee, in the Appalachian region near the Kentucky border. It was founded in 1897 and is named for Abraham Lincoln. The university serves students through its main campus and additional instructional sites.

LMU offers a broad mix of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study. It is known for programs in health professions, education, business, and the liberal arts, and it also operates professional schools. The university emphasizes service, leadership, and community engagement.

For students considering CLEP or other transfer credit, LMU is the kind of institution where credit-by-exam and transfer policies should be checked carefully against current university rules. Acceptance of CLEP credit can depend on the exam, the score earned, the student’s program, and how the credit fits degree requirements. Prospective students should confirm applicability before relying on exam credit for graduation planning.

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