AP Credit Policy
MState follows the ACE recommendations on minimum scores and number of credits to award for each AP exam. If we have an equivalent course, direct equivalency is granted. If we do not have an equivalent course, elective credits are awarded. These elective credits may be general electives or assigned specifically into one or more of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum goal areas.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
