Does MCPHS award Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) credit?
Advanced Placement: Yes. We encourage students to enroll in High School AP courses. Credit can be awarded if a score of 4 or 5 is earned on the AP exam. It is important to note, however, that it is not always in the student’s best interest to have credit awarded (especially for science courses such as chemistry and biology). For this reason, we require students to meet with an academic advisor during the first week of classes before credit will be awarded. Transfer credit for AP coursework is limited to 18 semester hours of credit. For more information, please speak with an admission counselor. International Baccalaureate: Credit can be awarded for selected coursework. Students must achieve a score of 5 or better on an HL (high level) IB exam. Transfer credits are limited to exams for English, language, biology, and the arts. Transfer credit for IB coursework is limited to 18 semester hours of credit. For more information, please speak with an admission counselor.
