Advanced Placement (AP) examinations

Each year over 90-percent of the University's incoming freshmen receive advanced placement credit. Northwestern acknowledges the educational value of AP courses by granting credit and/or placement as indicated at the link below. In some fields - primarily in the sciences and foreign languages - advanced placement and/or credit can be earned through appropriate performance on examinations administered by Northwestern departments, usually during New Student Week.
