CLEP Exams at Mount Saint Mary's College

Mount Saint Mary's College, now known as Mount Saint Mary's University, is a private Catholic institution in Los Angeles, California. It serves students in a major urban setting with campuses in the Los Angeles area. The school has long been associated with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

The university offers undergraduate and graduate study across a range of liberal arts, professional, and health-related fields. It is especially known for programs that support working adults and for its focus on access, service, and social mobility. Because program offerings can change over time, the most reliable source for current majors and degrees is the university's official catalog.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Mount Saint Mary's University should be treated as a school that evaluates prior learning through its own academic policies rather than by a universal national rule. Credit-by-exam acceptance, including CLEP, depends on the university's current transfer and examination-credit guidelines, the student's program, and the score earned. Students should confirm whether a specific exam applies to their degree plan before relying on it for credit.

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