AP and IB Credits

For complete Advanced Placement and IB credit information, please read the policies on the Transfer Credit Services website.

While the Computer Science Department strongly encourages students to take as many AP exams as they are able, we especially encourage students to take the Computer Science and Math AP exams. If a student earns a score of 5 on the Computer Science AP exams, they will be exempt from the first course (CMSC 131) of the computer science major.

If you are interested in placing out of more computer science course, please consider taking an exemption exam.
