CLEP Exams at Wheelock College

Wheelock College was a private college in Boston, Massachusetts, known for its focus on education, child life, and related helping professions. It was located in the Fenway area of Boston. Wheelock College merged with Boston University in 2018, so it no longer operates as an independent institution.

Wheelock offered undergraduate and graduate study with a strong emphasis on education, social work, and child development-related fields. The college was especially known for preparing students for careers working with children, families, and communities. Its academic identity centered on professional preparation combined with liberal arts learning and field-based experience.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Wheelock College should be treated as a closed institution rather than an active college. Students seeking to use prior credit, exam credit, or records from Wheelock would need to work through Boston University or the appropriate records repository associated with the merger. Because policies can change after institutional closure, any credit evaluation should be confirmed directly with the receiving institution.

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