CLEP Credits at Saint Louis University

Saint Louis University is a private Jesuit university in Saint Louis, Missouri, with its main campus in the city and an additional campus in Madrid, Spain. It is one of the oldest universities west of the Mississippi River and is known for its Catholic, Jesuit educational tradition. The university serves undergraduate, graduate, and professional students across a broad range of disciplines.

SLU offers a wide array of academic programs through schools and colleges in areas such as arts and sciences, business, education, health professions, law, medicine, nursing, public health, and social work. The university is especially well known for health sciences, research, and service-oriented education. Its Jesuit mission emphasizes academic rigor, ethical leadership, and community engagement.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Saint Louis University evaluates prior learning through its official transfer and credit policies rather than granting blanket credit for all exams or coursework. Students should consult SLU's published transfer credit guidelines and the relevant academic unit to determine whether CLEP scores or other external credits can apply to a specific degree program. Policies can vary by college, major, and course equivalency.

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