AP Credit Policy
Westminster College will consider AP courses for the awarding of academic credit. Whether these courses will transfer to the College and which degree requirements they will fulfill is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, AP courses will be considered for transfer if a student scores a 4 or 5 on the AP exam. In the case of some exams and departments, credit will be considered with a score of 3.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
