CLEP Credits at Seton Hall University

Seton Hall University is a private Catholic university in South Orange, New Jersey, in the New York metropolitan area. It was founded in 1856 and is one of the oldest diocesan universities in the United States. The university serves undergraduate, graduate, and professional students across a suburban campus setting.

Seton Hall offers a broad range of academic programs through its colleges and schools, including business, diplomacy and international relations, nursing, education, communication, arts and sciences, and law. It is especially known for programs in diplomacy and international relations, business, health sciences, and professional studies. The university combines classroom study with internships, clinical experiences, and other applied learning opportunities.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Seton Hall evaluates prior learning through its official transfer and credit policies rather than guaranteeing automatic award of credit for every exam or course. CLEP credit acceptance can vary by subject, score, and the student’s academic program, so students should consult the university’s published policies before testing. Transfer credit is generally reviewed in the context of degree requirements and academic standards.

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