NOTE: The 4 or 8 credits awarded for BIOSC courses may only count toward a degree in some Engineering majors.
NOTE: The 4 credits awarded for CS courses may only count toward a degree in some Engineering majors.
NOTE: Of the 6 humanities/social science electives students must take to graduate from the Swanson School of Engineering, only two may be satisfied by AP and/or IB credit.
The following AP exams are NOT awarded credit in the Swanson School of Engineering:
AP Statistics |
AP Computer Science Priniciples |
AP Research |
AP Seminar |
AP Physics B, Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C-E&M |
AP Human Geography |
AP Environmental Science |
Please be aware that AP credits are subject to change at any time and that this list is intended as a guide. AP credit cannot be reviewed and issued until the student is enrolled as a University of Pittsburgh student.
Foundational courses in the First-Year Engineering program are taken in sequence. AP/IB credit may be used for foundational courses (e.g. Math). If a student chooses to repeat a course at Pitt for which he/she has AP/IB credit, then AP/IB credit for subsequent courses in the same sequence is forfeited. Please note that this applies to equivalent courses (e.g. CHEM 0110 and 0120/CHEM 0960 and 0970 are equivalent courses. If a student with AP Chemistry credit chooses to take CHEM 0960 at Pitt , he/she may not then use AP credit for CHEM 0120). Additionally, if a student with AP credit repeats a class at the University and earns less than the minimum required grade to move forward in the course sequence, he/she may not retroactively use AP credit to earn credit for that course.
