AP / IB Credit
Students in the College of Arts and Science are limited to a total of 18 credit hours earned by any combination of advanced placement, international baccalaureate credit, advanced international credit, and credit by departmental examination, counting toward the minimum number of hours required toward the degree. For students in the College of Arts and Science, no form of advanced placement credit can be used to fulfill the College Core requirements.
At the determination of individual departments, Advanced Placement Examination grades with a score of 4 or 5 may be accepted for credit. The amount of credit that may be awarded corresponds to the course work waived. Advanced placement credit does not affect the Vanderbilt grade point average. See the AP and IB test scores accepted for advanced credit by the various departments at Vanderbilt.
