- For AP scores of three in U.S., European, or world history, the Department awards credit if and only if the student completes, with a final grade of 3.0 or higher, a non-introductory course in the same field (U.S., European, or world) as that in which the AP test was taken. Upon completing the non-introductory course on these conditions, the student will receive credit for both the non-introductory course and either HIST 122 (for U.S. APs) or HIST 112 (for European APs) or HIST 102 (for world history APs). For U.S. or European credit, the nonintroductory course must be chosen from among field-related departmental offerings at the 300 level or above. For world history credit, the non-introductory selection should be made from among the following: HIST 277, 344, 352, 371, 373, or any other appropriate, i.e. essentially global or cross-cultural, departmental offering approved by the Department Chair.
- For AP scores of four, the Department awards four units of credit for each score presented. In U.S. history, credit is given for HIST 122. In European history, credit is given for HIST 112. In world history, credit is given for HIST 102.
- For AP scores of five, the Department awards eight units of credit for each score presented. In U.S. history, credit is given for HIST 121 and 122. In European history, credit is given for HIST 111 and 112. In world history, credit is given for HIST 101 and 102.
