College Credit as a High School Student
Advanced Placement Exams and Courses
The College Board develops Advanced Placement (AP) courses in more than 30 subjects, from calculus and Spanish to United States history. So, there’s something for everyone. Score a 3 or higher on the final exam, and you’ve got your first college credits. Awesome, right?
International Baccalaureate Exams and Courses
More than 2,500 secondary schools in 150 countries offer college-level courses that prepare students for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. If your school is authorized to offer these courses, you can earn college credit.
There are two tracks for students enrolled in IB programs: standard level (SL) and higher level (HL). All UW System schools grant credit for HL exam scores of 4 or higher. If you complete IB’s Full Diploma Program, you’ll earn additional credit.
