CLEP Exams at Saint Anselm College

Saint Anselm College is a private Catholic liberal arts college in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was founded by the Benedictine monks of Saint Anselm Abbey and remains closely associated with the Benedictine tradition. The college serves undergraduate students in a residential campus setting in southern New Hampshire.

The college offers a liberal arts curriculum with undergraduate majors across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and business-related fields. Saint Anselm is known for its Catholic and Benedictine identity, small-college environment, and emphasis on discussion-based learning and community engagement. It also offers pre-professional preparation and opportunities for internships, research, and service.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Saint Anselm College should be treated as a college that evaluates outside credit through its own academic policies rather than as a school with universally guaranteed acceptance of exam scores. CLEP credit, if accepted, is typically subject to institutional review, score requirements, and applicability to a student's program. Students should confirm in advance whether a specific CLEP exam or transfer course will satisfy a Saint Anselm requirement.

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