AP Credit
Undergraduate students may be granted credit or be exempted from certain courses or requirements on the basis of Advanced Placement tests administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. (In the Postbac Premed Program, AP credit neither places a student out of a requirement nor determines placement.) Specific details about subject test areas, scores, advanced credit, and placement status can be found in the chart below.
*Language Courses: Courses used toward AP credit in language must be for at least 3 points of credit and be taught in that language. Courses taught in English may not be used for AP credit in language.
