CLEP Exams at Queens College (CUNY)

Queens College is a public college of the City University of New York located in Flushing, Queens, New York. It is one of CUNY's senior colleges and serves a large, diverse student body in New York City. The campus is known for its urban setting and access to the cultural and professional resources of the city.

The college offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate study across the liberal arts, sciences, education, and professional fields. Queens College is especially known for programs in the arts, teacher education, and the sciences, and it is part of the Macaulay Honors College network within CUNY. As a public college, it also serves many transfer students from other institutions.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Queens College follows CUNY and college-level policies rather than treating all outside credit the same way. Students should expect that credit-by-exam and transfer credit are evaluated against degree requirements, course equivalencies, and residency rules. Acceptance of specific CLEP exams or transfer courses can vary by subject and program, so students should confirm details with the college before relying on outside credit.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on QC'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. Queens College - CUNY transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
