CLEP Exams at The Citadel

The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, is a public senior military college in Charleston, South Carolina. It is known for its Corps of Cadets and its military-style undergraduate experience, while also serving civilian students through graduate and evening programs. The campus is located in Charleston and is part of South Carolina's public higher education system.

The Citadel offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs through its colleges and schools, including business, engineering, education, humanities and social sciences, and leadership-focused studies. It is especially known for its military leadership environment and for preparing students for service, public leadership, and professional careers. The school also offers graduate and professional education for both military and civilian students.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, The Citadel evaluates prior learning through its official academic policies rather than granting automatic credit for every exam or course. Students should expect credit decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program. Because policies can change and may differ by department, students should consult The Citadel's current transfer and testing credit guidelines before relying on outside coursework or CLEP results.

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