CLEP Credits at Oregon State University

Oregon State University is a public research university in Corvallis, Oregon, with additional presence through its statewide extension and online education efforts. It is Oregon’s land-grant university and serves students across the state and beyond. The university is known for combining classroom learning with research, outreach, and public service.

OSU offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across many fields, including engineering, business, forestry, agriculture, oceanography, and health-related disciplines. It is especially well known for research in areas tied to the natural environment, sustainability, and the marine and earth sciences. The university also has a strong online education presence through Oregon State Ecampus.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Oregon State University evaluates prior learning and transfer coursework through its official academic policies rather than treating all outside credit the same way. Credit awarded by exam or transfer is typically subject to university review, course equivalency, and degree-program requirements. Students should consult OSU’s current transfer-credit and credit-by-exam policies to confirm how a specific exam or course will apply.

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