Advanced Placement & International Baccalaureate Tests

Course Equivalents for AP/IB Tests

Advanced Placement

These examinations are for students in high school. Upon receipt of an official score from the College Board and a satisfactory essay when required, the Office of Admissions and Records grants credit as specified and assigns a grade of "S" for scores of 3, 4 or 5.

Those students who successfully complete CBAPE examinations in French, German, Latin or Spanish satisfy the foreign language requirements in the College of Liberal Arts.

For complete information on AP test placement, see College Board Advanced Placement Examination (CBAPE) in the online catalog.

International Baccalaureate

The university awards advanced standing credit for IB higher level examinations passed with scores of 5,6, or 7. Credit is not granted for the standard level examinations. A maximum of 24 elective credits may be granted for the IB diploma program. Evaluation is on a course by course basis with a maximum of eight semester credits granted in any one discipline. The applicability of IB credits towards satisfying specific major/degree requirements is determined by individual colleges and departments. A maximum of 60 semester credits may be earned in any combination of non-traditional learning examinations and applied towards a bachelor's degree.
