Put AP credits to use right from the start

Carthage accepts a maximum of 32 credit hours of alternative credit to be counted toward graduation. This includes Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and CLEP. No credit will be awarded for Subsidiary level examinations.

Advanced Placement Credit

Advanced Placement Examinations, consisting of both objective and free response sections, are administered by the College Board to students who have completed college-level Advanced Placement courses in high school. A score of 1 through 5 is assigned by a group of evaluators based on the score for the objective section and review of the free response questions. Carthage awards credit in recognition of scores 3 through 5. Entering students who wish credit for Advanced Placement must submit official results to the Office of the Registrar.

All advanced placement courses are subject to departmental review of scores and/or booklet before credits are awarded. AP scores must be 3 or above to receive Carthage credit except where noted otherwise.

Project Lead the Way

Students who receive a “Distinguished” Achievement Level Descriptor in Introduction to Engineering Design or Principles of Engineering AND complete a final project in Engineering Design and Development may receive credit toward Carthage’s Engineering degree EGR技术1100 Introduction to Engineering Design (4 cr.). Such received credit is considered provisional until the student’s subsequent Carthage course work confirms that they are sufficiently prepared for subsequent courses.
