CLEP Credits at Niagara University

Niagara University is a private Catholic university in Niagara University, New York, near the Niagara Falls area. It was founded by the Vincentian community and is affiliated with the Catholic and Vincentian traditions. The university serves undergraduate and graduate students in a suburban setting in western New York.

Niagara offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs through its colleges and schools, with strengths in business, education, nursing, arts and sciences, and hospitality and tourism-related study. The university is also known for its Vincentian mission, which emphasizes service, ethics, and community engagement. Students can pursue both liberal arts and professional preparation within that framework.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Niagara University is the kind of institution that typically evaluates prior learning through its registrar and academic departments rather than granting blanket credit automatically. Credit awarded through exams or transfer work depends on institutional policy, the specific exam or course, and the student’s program of study. Prospective students should confirm current CLEP acceptance and score requirements directly with the university before testing.

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