CLEP Credits at Marist College

Marist College is a private liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, New York, on the Hudson River. It was founded by the Marist Brothers and has grown into a comprehensive undergraduate and graduate institution. The college serves students in a suburban setting with a main campus in the Hudson Valley and a branch campus in Florence, Italy.

Marist offers a broad mix of undergraduate majors and graduate programs across areas such as business, communication, computing, education, liberal arts, and social sciences. The college is known for combining a liberal arts foundation with professional preparation and experiential learning. Its location and campus resources support study abroad, internships, and applied learning opportunities.

For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, Marist evaluates prior college coursework and standardized exam credit through its academic policies. Students should consult Marist's official transfer credit and credit evaluation guidelines to determine how CLEP or other exam results may apply to a specific degree program. Credit acceptance can depend on the subject area, score, and how the credit fits the student's curriculum.

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