CLEP Exams at Marquette University

Marquette University is a private Jesuit university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is located in the city’s downtown area and serves undergraduate and graduate students in a wide range of fields. The university is rooted in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition and emphasizes service, leadership, and academic rigor.

Marquette offers programs across arts and sciences, business, communication, engineering, health sciences, nursing, and law, among other areas. It is especially known for professional preparation, experiential learning, and its Jesuit educational mission. The university also supports research and graduate study through several schools and colleges.

For transfer and credit-by-exam planning, Marquette students should rely on the university’s official transfer credit and registrar policies rather than assuming outside credit will apply automatically. CLEP and other exam credits are typically evaluated according to institutional rules, course equivalencies, and program requirements. Acceptance can vary by subject, score, and the student’s intended major or school.

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