Columbia University: School of General Studies

As determined by Columbia, students who have achieved satisfactory scores on the College Board AP Exams may be granted credit or exempted from certain required courses. Any credit will be considered part of the 60-transfer credit maximum. The following conditions apply: 1) The departments concerned must approve the use of these examinations. 2) Credit so earned is not granted until a student has demonstrated a capacity to do satisfactory advanced work in the overall program. 3) Credit awarded under the Advanced Placement Program does not constitute part of the 64 credits earned at Columbia required for the GS degree.
