Advanced Placement Program
Students who complete college-level work in high school under the Advanced
Placement Program sponsored by the College Entrance Examination
Board and who receive satisfactory grades in examinations administered by
the Board may, on admission to the University, be granted credit toward a bachelor's
degree in comparable University courses. The University's participation in
this program is supervised by the Honors College.
The fields included in the Advanced Placement Program are: English composition
and literature, American history, European history, biology, chemistry,
physics, mathematics, French, German, Spanish, and Latin.
In the field of mathematics, the University sponsors a special advanced placement
program which differs in some respects from the College Board program;

receive superior grades in examinations administered by the Department of Mathematics.
