CLEP Credits at Mississippi State University

Mississippi State University is a public research university in Mississippi State, Mississippi, in the northeastern part of the state. It is the state’s land-grant institution and one of Mississippi’s major public universities. The university serves students through a large main campus and a broad range of academic and research activities.

Mississippi State offers a wide selection of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across fields such as agriculture, engineering, business, education, arts and sciences, architecture, and veterinary medicine. It is especially known for research and applied learning tied to its land-grant mission. Students can pursue both traditional classroom study and hands-on opportunities in laboratories, fieldwork, and internships.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Mississippi State is a public university that evaluates prior learning through its own academic policies rather than automatically accepting every exam or course. Students who want credit by examination or transfer credit should review the university’s current policies before enrolling or testing. Acceptance can depend on the subject, score, course equivalency, and the student’s degree program.

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