CLEP Credits at Purdue University Northwest

Purdue University Northwest is a public university in northwest Indiana, with campuses in Hammond and Westville. It is part of the Purdue University system and serves students from the Chicago metropolitan region and beyond. The Hammond campus is the primary location associated with the university.

The university offers undergraduate and graduate study across a range of fields, including business, engineering, nursing, education, and the arts and sciences. It is known for combining classroom learning with applied and experiential opportunities. Because program offerings can change, prospective students should confirm current majors and degree options directly with the university.

Purdue University Northwest accepts transfer credit under standard university transfer policies, and students may also be able to use credit-by-exam options such as CLEP if the university approves the scores and the credit fits the degree plan. Credit acceptance depends on the exam, score, course equivalency, and academic program. Students should review the university’s current transfer and testing-credit policies before relying on any exam credit.

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