CLEP Exams at University at Buffalo

The University at Buffalo is a public research university in Buffalo, New York, and part of the State University of New York system. It is commonly known as UB. The university operates multiple campuses in the Buffalo area and serves a large and diverse student body.

UB offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across many fields. It is especially well known for research activity and for programs in areas such as engineering, business, health sciences, law, and the arts and sciences. The university is classified as an R1 research institution, reflecting very high research activity.

For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, UB is a public university that evaluates prior college coursework and other approved forms of credit through its own academic policies. CLEP and other exam credits are not automatically accepted in every case; applicability depends on the exam, score, and the receiving academic unit. Students should review UB's current transfer-credit and credit-by-exam policies before relying on exam results for degree progress.

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