About the university

About Schiller International University

Schiller International University is a private international university with a campus in Largo, Florida, in the Tampa Bay area. It also operates additional campuses outside the United States, giving it a multi-campus international profile. The school serves students seeking an international education experience in a private university setting.

Schiller offers undergraduate and graduate study in areas such as business, international relations, and related fields. Its academic model emphasizes global perspectives, small-campus learning, and international mobility across its campus network. Because program offerings can change, the most reliable source for current majors and degrees is the university itself.

  • Business and international relations focus among its academic offerings
  • Transfer credit review is handled through institutional evaluation of prior coursework
  • CLEP decisions should be confirmed directly with the university before testing
Transfer credit policy

How Transfer Credits Work at Schiller International University

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Schiller International University should be treated as a school where credit acceptance is determined by institutional policy rather than assumed broadly. Students considering CLEP or other prior-learning credit should confirm in advance whether the specific exam or course will be accepted toward their intended program. The university’s policies may vary by program, campus, and degree level.

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

Transfer tip: Check your transfer credit evaluation and compare accepted credits with your Schiller International University degree requirements before planning additional coursework.
Beyond CLEP®

ACE & NCCRS coursework
may still be considered.

Schiller International University may consider ACE- and NCCRS-recommended coursework for transfer credit under its prior learning assessment (PLA) policies. Acceptance varies by institution, program, and course. Before enrolling in an ACE or NCCRS course, confirm with the college's registrar or transfer credit office whether the specific course can be applied toward your degree.

ACE · American Council on Education
ACE Credit
ACE evaluates non-traditional learning — including corporate training, workforce programs, and credit-by-exam — and recommends equivalent college credit. CLEP® exams are also ACE-reviewed. Colleges may consider ACE-recommended coursework under their transfer credit or prior-learning policies.

NCCRS
NCCRS Credit
NCCRS reviews non-collegiate coursework and provides college-credit recommendations for eligible learning. Member and non-member institutions may consider NCCRS-recommended coursework under their transfer credit or prior-learning policies. Acceptance depends on the institution, program, and applicable degree requirements.
