CLEP Credits at Temple University Japan Campus

Temple University-Japan Campus is Temple University’s branch campus in Japan, with its main campus in Tokyo and a satellite location in Osaka. It serves students in Japan and from around the world through Temple University’s U.S.-based academic structure. The campus is part of Temple University, a public research university headquartered in Philadelphia.

Temple University-Japan Campus offers undergraduate and graduate study in a range of fields, with instruction in English. Academic offerings have included liberal arts and sciences, business, and graduate programs, along with English-language and continuing education options. A notable strength of the campus is its role as an international branch campus that connects students to Temple University’s broader academic resources.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Temple University-Japan Campus should be treated as a Temple University campus rather than as a separate institution. Credit-by-exam and transfer decisions are typically handled through Temple University policies and the campus’s academic offices. Students should confirm in advance whether a specific exam or external course will apply to their intended program.

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