Clarifying AP credit policy

<p>Is the policy described for General Studies: AP</a> Credit | General Studies
the policy of columbia college and SEAS, or is this policy unique to general studies?</p>

<p>Does getting advanced credit equate to getting that number of points towards graduation at Columbia?</p>

<p>thesteve! come on, a simple search would yield…</p>

<p>[Does</a> Columbia grant placement, advanced standing or credit for standardized examinations? | Columbia University Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/faq/does-columbia-grant-placement-advanced-standing-or-credit-standardized-examinations]Does”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/faq/does-columbia-grant-placement-advanced-standing-or-credit-standardized-examinations)</p>

<p>admissions geek, I have seen those pages, and they are not clear about what specific AP scores they give credit/advanced classes for, which is why I want to know if the policy for General Studies that I linked is the same as the college.</p>

<p>well you’re changing your question. i showed for seas that the list is pretty much identical to the one from gs. but you’re interested in the college, i guess showing you seas isn’t quite good enough. </p>

<p>have you been admitted to columbia? are you a current columbia student?</p>

<p>I was admitted to the college. Sorry for changing my question, but I was more interested in just the college’s policy. So is the SEAS policy the same as the college?</p>

<p>Go to each department you are interested in [CU</a> Directory of Classes](<a href=“http://www.columbia.edu/cu/bulletin/uwb/]CU”>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/bulletin/uwb/)</p>

<p>for instance here is the piece from the Math department:
Advanced Placement
The department grants 3 credits for a score of 4 on the AP Calculus AB exam provided the student completes MATH V1102 with a grade of C or better. The department grants 3 credits for a score of 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam provided the student completes MATH V1102 or MATH V1201 with a grade of C or better. The department grants 3 credits for a score of 4 on the AP Calculus BC exam provided the student completes MATH V1102 or MATH V1201 with a grade of C or better. The department grants 6 credits for a score of 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam provided the student completes MATH V1201 or MATH V1207 with a grade of C or better. Students can receive credit for only one calculus sequence.</p>

<p>Works for you?</p>

<p>Is the Cal ab subscore on the calc bc exam treated the same way as the calc ab score?</p>

<p>No. Looks like the Math department only gives credit for scores, not subscores.</p>
