* There is no guarantee that all AP credit will apply to a specific degree program. The dean’s office of each college and school makes the final determination on how AP credits apply toward degree requirements.
1 Engineering Students: Check with academic advisor in major department. Students will need the ability to learn additional programming languages for further computer science courses.
2 Students who want to continue taking Spanish courses beyond their AP credit level must take the Spanish department placement test. If the results of this test place them below their AP level, the Spanish department strongly recommends enrolling at the lower of the two levels.
3 Three lower-division credits meeting the historical context core requirement in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Leeds School of Business.
4 Does not apply toward degree requirements for students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
NOTE: This table was prepared based on spring 2013 exams. Credit awarded is subject to change based on faculty review of spring 2014 exams.
