<p>“The reason is that there was no comparison between the HS/CC combination and the type of instruction at the higher level.”</p>
<p>I know most of the faculty at my daughter’s college who have commented on this issue would concur. They would include most AP courses in that statement as well. Several departments in at her school have in fact recommended that the college stop accepting credits for AP courses and to require a department-administered test that a student with a 4 or 5 on the AP exam must pass before allowing them to waive the corresponding lower level course. It didn’t happen, of course. I know some of the cynics would say that they have only taken this stand because it costs the college money if a student graduates early with the help of AP/dual enrollment credits, but I have met few faculty who really have that deep a concern for college finances; that’s a problem for administrators.</p>
