CLEP Exams at Scripps College

Scripps College is a private liberal arts college in Claremont, California, and one of the undergraduate colleges in the Claremont Colleges consortium. It is a women’s college focused on the liberal arts and located in Southern California. The college emphasizes close faculty-student interaction and access to resources across the consortium.

Scripps offers undergraduate study in the liberal arts and sciences, with students able to pursue majors through the college and the broader Claremont Colleges academic network. The college is known for its strong humanities, social sciences, and interdisciplinary opportunities, along with a campus culture that supports writing, research, and creative work. Students also benefit from shared courses and facilities across the consortium.

For CLEP and transfer credit, Scripps follows its own academic policies and evaluates outside coursework on a case-by-case basis. Credit-by-exam and transfer credit decisions are typically handled through the college’s academic and registrar offices rather than through a blanket acceptance policy. Students should confirm in advance whether a specific exam or course will apply toward degree requirements.

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