CLEP Exams at Mercer University

Mercer University is a private university in Macon, Georgia, with additional campuses and instructional sites in other parts of the state. It is one of Georgia’s oldest private universities and is known for combining a traditional residential campus experience with professional and graduate education.

Mercer offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through multiple schools and colleges. Areas of strength include health professions, business, engineering, law, education, theology, and the liberal arts. The university is also known for emphasizing service, experiential learning, and community engagement.

For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, Mercer is a private university that evaluates outside coursework through its own transfer credit policies. CLEP credit acceptance is not universal across all institutions or all subjects, so students should confirm how Mercer applies exam credit to their intended program before testing. Policies can vary by school, major, and degree level.

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