How do my AP, IB, and dual credit courses count in the BIC?
If Baylor accepts your AP, IB, or dual credit, then you receive those hours and it is noted on your transcript. These courses, however, do not replace BIC courses. Since our courses are interdisciplinary, we cannot pull the history out of World Cultures or the literature out of World of Rhetoric. You would miss a valuable part of the program. If the course for which you receive AP IB, or dual credit is required by your major, then your credit meets the major requriement. For example, if you receive credit for PSC 1305-American National Government, and are a political science major, then the credit meets a major requirement, but does not affect your BIC requirements. For AP and IB credits accepted by Baylor, please visit the Institutional Research and Testing site and click on “Testing” in the left column.
