CLEP Credits at University of Montana

The University of Montana is a public university in Missoula, Montana, in the western part of the state. It is the flagship campus of the Montana University System and serves students from across Montana, the region, and beyond. The campus is located near the Clark Fork River and the city’s downtown area.

UM offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate study through its colleges and schools, including programs in the liberal arts, sciences, business, education, health-related fields, law, and the arts. The university is especially known for strengths in environmental and natural resource-related study, writing, and public service. It also supports research activity and professional preparation across multiple disciplines.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, the University of Montana is a public university that evaluates outside credit through its own academic policies. Students who have earned credit by exam or at another institution should expect that applicability depends on the subject, score, course equivalency, and degree program. The university’s transfer-credit process is designed to determine how prior learning fits into a UM degree plan.

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