CLEP Credits at Mercy University

Mercy University is a private university in Dobbs Ferry, New York, in the Hudson Valley just north of New York City. It also serves students through additional locations in the New York metropolitan area and online. The university traces its origins to Mercy College, which was founded in 1950.

Mercy offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate study options across fields such as business, health sciences, education, liberal arts, and social and behavioral sciences. The university is known for serving a diverse student body and for providing flexible pathways for adult, transfer, and working students. Its academic offerings include both traditional campus-based study and online learning.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Mercy University is a school where students commonly look to combine prior learning, exam credit, and transferred coursework toward degree completion. Credit acceptance can vary by program, course equivalency, and academic standing, so students should confirm how specific CLEP exams or transfer courses apply to their intended major. The university’s policies are best verified directly with the institution before enrolling or testing.

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