CLEP Credits at San Jose State University

San Jose State University is a public university in San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. It is part of the California State University system and serves a large, urban student population. The campus is known for its close ties to the region’s technology and business communities.

SJSU offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs across colleges such as engineering, business, education, humanities, social sciences, and health-related fields. The university is especially well known for programs connected to Silicon Valley, including engineering, computer science, and business. It also emphasizes applied learning, internships, and career preparation.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, San Jose State University follows policies set by the university and the California State University system. Credit-by-exam and transfer credit are typically evaluated by the institution rather than applied automatically to every degree requirement. Students should confirm how any CLEP score, external exam, or transfer course will apply to their specific major and graduation plan.

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