If a student goes to a particular affiliate college or university, how will the credit for PLTW courses be counted in an engineering or engineering technology program there?
The use of these credits or courses in any university degree program will depend on the policies and degree requirements of that program regarding transfer of credit which satisfy graduation requirements. It is best to check with the affiliate college or university. New Hampshire Technical Institute, for example, allows students to earn elective college credits for selected PLTW courses under the Running Start program. • The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Weber State University vary the number of credits, depending on the PLTW course. • The University of South Carolina applies credit for Digital Electronics, for example, for a specific college course. • Duke University will work with the national College Board to establish Advanced Placement credit for PLTW courses taught in North Carolina. • Seattle Community Colleges have agreements with schools districts which allow students who are taking eligible PLTW courses in high school to make application for Tech Prep credit
