The above curriculum sheets reflect the course numbering changes that take effect Fall 2009. Please refer to the conversionator for a table of old/new course numbers.
The syllabi linked to the above courses are for general information only. On the first day of class, your instructor will distribute a syllabus that is specific to your course section. We recommend that you hold off from buying your books until the first class meetings.
Advanced Placement
Credit for courses may be awarded for AP exam scores of 4 or greater and transfer courses appearing on an official college transcript with a grade of C or better. Course credit may be awarded for scores of at least 5 on an IB higher-level exam.
An academic advisor will work with students during summer orientation to determine the specific courses in which credit can be awarded, to discuss the value of that credit in a specific program of study, and to make any necessary course schedule adjustments for the first semester.
