Advanced Placement

Stevens participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) program of the College Entrance Examination Board. Students may receive college credit toward their degree for the following examinations and corresponding scores. No more than 30 credits completed prior to enrollment in the first semester can be used to meet degree requirements. The 30-credit limit includes Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, transfer credits, or a combination of those credits. This applies to any student who is entering Stevens directly from high school and has never attended a higher education institution as a matriculated student.
