CLEP Exams at Westmont College

Westmont College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, California. It is located in the foothills above the city and serves undergraduate students in a residential campus setting. The college emphasizes a faith-based educational environment within the liberal arts tradition.

Westmont offers undergraduate study across a range of majors and pre-professional pathways, with strengths in the liberal arts, sciences, and programs that integrate faith and learning. Students can pursue coursework in areas such as the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and fine arts. The college is known for its close-knit academic community and emphasis on undergraduate teaching.

For CLEP and transfer credit, Westmont College should be treated as a school with its own institutional policies rather than assumed to accept all exam or transfer credit automatically. Credit-by-exam and transfer decisions are typically subject to college review, course equivalency, and degree requirements. Students should consult Westmont’s official transfer credit and registrar guidance before relying on CLEP or outside coursework.

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