<p>According to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the following credits are given to the following tests:</p>
<p>European History 4 History 151, 152 6
US History 4 History 127, 128 6</p>
<p>I already got a 4 on AP US History exam last year so I will earn credit for History 127, 128 for 6 credit hours, if I am understanding this system correctly.
This year I was planning to take AP Euro His exam, and I might get 5, but very likely to end up getting 4. In this case, will it be meaningless for me to take Euro His exam because I already have credit for 127 and 128 or should I take the exam and get credit for 151 and 152 as well? (i.e. Does UNC recognize credits for both history exams simultaneously? I heard some colleges recognize only one history exam credit.)</p>
<p>I think you can pile up the credits so long as the descriptions of the courses are not the same. They may count for different general college requirements but I would take it if there was a chance for an additional 6 hours credit. you can call the REGISTRAR probably about this but also the Admissions office is the office that sends the paperwork awarding credit to the registrar....even after you get there you need to make sure the credits show up on your transcript, my D had to make a few phone calls on one or two courses she exempted by SAT scores.</p>
<p>I haven't seen anything saying they only accept one History or one Math or one English. The AP Credit Policy, to me, just looks capped in terms of maximum credit hours. </p>
<p>I'm a layman so this is hardly official in any way but I feel like this is solid. If you look at the Undergraduate Bulletin, all students have to fill out certain "Connections" courses. These include US Diversity, North Atlantic World, Beyond the North Atlantic World, World Before 1750, and Global Issues. According to the Undergraduate Bulletin, the course numbers for AP US History and AP European History credit fill some of these requirements like this: Diversity (AP USH), North Atlantic (AP USH or AP Euro), World Before 1750 (Euro), Global Issues (Euro), Beyond North Atlantic World (not US or Euro but AP World SEEMS like it would work here, in name at least).</p>
<p>If that analysis is correct, it's valuable to have both US and Euro (and World, World History is the best class of these anyway) to fill the gen-ed requirements. I'm also pretty sure that those credits would go to the total number needed for graduation.</p>
<p>If you're looking at a History major or minor, the History department page says (for a minor, because that's what I'm looking at doing) that 3 of the 5 courses for the minor must be taken at UNC (so bringing in 2 APs would be fine) and 3 of the 5 courses must be above 200 (so as long as all the History courses you took at UNC were 200+, you could get credit for AP USH and AP Euro for a minor). This is a tangent already so I'm not going to go on about what the deal is with a History major.</p>
<p>Son received a 5 on American History AP and a 5 on the Euro History AP. Based on his AP scores Son earned the following UNC credits: HIST 127/128 for US history and HIST 151/152 for Euro HIST. 127 counted for his US diversity and North Atlantic World Connections; Hist 151 counted for his world before 1750 connection; and Hist 152 counted for his global issues connection. Each course also counted for one of the three required Historical Anylsis/Social Science Approach. The total was 12 credits were granted for the two AP exams.</p>
