Advanced Placement (AP) exams are taken after students complete the corresponding Advanced Placement course in high school.

Exams are developed by committees of college and secondary faculty, and are given to test groups of students in actual college courses to determine appropriate passing scores. More information about Advanced Placement, including descriptions of courses and sample examination questions, is available at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/Controller.jpf

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), unlike Advanced Placement, is not built around a curriculum, but rather is designed to test students’ knowledge on a variety of college-level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. CLEP exams are developed by committees of college faculty who design questions based on what is typically covered in lower-level college courses and who set passing standards for the exams (scores are no longer based on studies of student performance in college courses).

The qualifying scores listed are for computer-based exam. Contact admissions office for qualifying score on paper and pencil exams. More information about CLEP, including recent test information guides, can be found online at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is a challenging curriculum offered in high schools around the world that is designed to prepare students for advanced work in many countries’ postsecondary systems. Because it is international, the curriculum is not always as closely aligned with courses in American colleges and universities as Advanced Placement courses, and students and teachers often choose topics within a fairly wide range. Students frequently conduct independent projects as part of the curriculum. More information about the IB program is available at http://www.ibo.org/.
