College Level Exam Program (CLEP):

We participate in the national College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Mansfield University grants credit for CLEP SUBJECT examinations, but does not grant credit for the CLEP GENERAL examination. Subject examinations are available in the areas of business, composition, education, foreign languages, humanities, mathematics, science, and social science. CLEP is a way to earn college credits for what you have already learned and may shorten your college experience. Information regarding CLEP examinations is available from the Admissions Office.

International Baccalaureate Program (IBO):

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) collaborates with secondary schools around the world on programs for students ages 16 through 19.  The two-year comprehensive curriculum allows partcipating students and IBO graduates to fulfill requirements of various national education systems.  In addition to applied academics, the IBO program works with students to develop responsible citizenship, leadership skills, and cultural sensitivity.

IBO students entering Mansfield University may receive 6-8 credits for each higher level IBO examination completed with a score of 4-7.  Credits are awarded for higher level subjects.  No credit is awarded for standard-level subjects.  For more information regarding IBO credits, please contact our Transfer Coordinator, South Hall, at 570-662-4408.
