You put in a lot of time and hard work to get those Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) credits!
The credits will transfer to UO, and depending on your test scores, may count towards honors college requirements in math, science, foreign language and UO electives.
You will still need to take the honors college Arts & Letters and Social Science sequences, which are designed to be an immersive learning experience. These classes are where we build community, create fabulous mentorship relationships between students and professors, and benefit from the intellectual energy of having majors from all across campus together in one place.
Take a look at the below chart to see how your AP, IB or college transfer credits fit in. If you still have questions, you can take a look at the CHC's Graduation Requirements, or check out the university registrar's pages for AP credits and IB credits.
