CLEP Exams at Manhattan University

Manhattan University is a private Catholic university in the Bronx, New York City. It was founded in 1853 and is located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. The university is known for combining a liberal arts foundation with professional and pre-professional study.

The university offers undergraduate and graduate study across a range of fields, including business, engineering, education, arts, sciences, and health-related areas. Manhattan is especially known for its engineering and business programs, as well as its Jesuit educational tradition and emphasis on service, ethics, and leadership. Students can pursue both traditional majors and career-oriented programs.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Manhattan University is a private institution, so credit-by-exam and transfer decisions are handled by its own academic policies rather than a statewide public system. Students seeking CLEP or transfer credit should expect evaluation based on the university's published rules and the receiving department's standards. Acceptance of credit is not automatic and depends on course equivalency, score requirements, and degree applicability.

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