AP Credits at Berkeley Letters and Sciences

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>According to this webpage:
University</a> of California - Berkeley
the College of Letters and Sciences gives AP credits for the following: Computer Science, English, History, Foreign Language, Mathematics, and Statistics.</p>

<p>Does this mean that I will not receive any units for any AP exams (passed with 3 or higher) that are not on that list? Psychology or government for example.</p>

<p>I had assumed that I would receive 2.7 units for every passed AP exam as stated on the UC website but now I'm not sure. I am depending on my AP exams to fulfill the last 2 out of the 60 units I need to transfer so I'm pretty worried.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. Also, sorry if this has already been asked and answered, I tried searching but I was unable to find anything.</p>

<p>You should receive credit units based on UC policies:
[University</a> of California - AP credits](<a href=“University of California Counselors”>University of California Counselors)</p>

<p>However, subject credit and placement into more advanced courses is determined by departments and majors; the College of Letters and Science listing that you found only applies to base-level College of Letters and Science requirements.</p>

<p>they will def take psych and government - i would go directly to the source and just email/call an advisor to double check.</p>

<p>There is a difference between AP being used to satisfy requirements, and general AP elective credit. </p>

<p>The website you listed shows the various requirements (for instance the Quantitative Reasoning requirement or American History and Institutions) that AP fulfills for L&S. The site that ucbalum linked to shows how much elective credit you would get. </p>

<p>That’s how I understand it, at least.</p>
