CLEP Credits at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia

University of the Sciences in Philadelphia was a private university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was known for health sciences and related professional education, and its campus was located in the city of Philadelphia. The institution later became part of Saint Joseph's University.

The university was especially associated with pharmacy and other health-professions education, and it offered undergraduate and graduate study in science- and health-related fields. Its academic identity centered on preparing students for professional practice and advanced study in healthcare and the sciences. Because the institution has been merged into Saint Joseph's University, current program details should be verified through the successor institution.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, policies for University of the Sciences in Philadelphia should be treated as historical rather than current, since the institution no longer operates independently. Any credit-by-exam or transfer decisions would have been governed by the university's own registrar and academic policies at the time. Students seeking to apply older USP coursework or exam credit should confirm how Saint Joseph's University evaluates those records today.

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