What are AP and Dual Credit?

Page 3: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Advanced Placement (AP)Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in

the United States and Canada created by

the College Board, which offers college-

level curricula and examinations to high school

students. American colleges and universities often

grant placement and course credit to students who

obtain high scores on the examinations. The AP

curriculum for each of the various subjects is

created for the College Board by a panel of

experts and college-level educators in that field of

study.

Dual Credit (DC)

Dual Credit (DC) is the term given to courses in

which high school students have the opportunity to

earn both high school and college credits

simultaneously. Dual credit courses are taught by

credentialed high school faculty, adjunct college

faculty or college faculty either at the high school,

at the college or university, or sometimes through online courses or distance education.

Why AP and Dual Credit?

Page 6: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Meets Academic Honors Diploma

Additional Requirements:

*AP Courses (4 credits) and corresponding exams

*Dual Credit Courses (6 credits) from Priority Course List

*AP Courses (2 credits) with corresponding exams and Dual Credit Course (3 credits) from

the Priority Course List

Page 7: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

• Research shows students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students

• Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States grant credit, advanced placement or both on the basis of successful AP Exam scores - more than 3,300 institutions worldwide annually receive AP scores

• Students have an opportunity to experience the rigors of college while still being in a supportive high school environment.

Page 8: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

• Students who succeed in rigorous course work such as Advanced Placement or Dual Credit are developing college-level knowledge and skills while still in high school. These students are more likely than their peers to earn college degrees on time, providing an opportunity to save significant amounts of money

• A student who leaves high school with college credit is much more likely to pursue, and complete, a college degree. Dual credit helps students overcome real or perceived obstacles to higher education.

• In each of the academic years examined, a significant difference was found in the median GPA between students who enrolled in a university with 12 or more dual-credit enrollment hours versus those who enrolled in a university without any dual-credit enrollment hours. Students with 12 or more dual-credit hours achieved higher GPAs --Texas A & M University

THE WHY

• RIGOR

• TRANSITION

• CONFIDENCE

• ACADEMIC HONORS

• TIME

• $$$$$$

What do the colleges say about AP and DC?

Page 11: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Highly Selective Universities’ Perspective:(Duke, Stanford, Harvard, Georgetown and Penn)

Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit (DC)

Advanced Placement (AP)

• They WANT AP classes

• Meaningful/Intentional AP

“Any AP is good AP but not at the expense of the right AP” – University of Pennsylvania Rep

• Rigor/Course Offerings

“Its definitely better to get the A in AP” –Stanford University Rep

Page 12: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Highly Selective Universities’ Perspective:(Stanford, MIT, and Princeton)

Advance Placement (AP) and Dual Credit (DC)Dual Credit (DC)

• “We look for applicants who have challenged themselves with honors, Advanced Placement (AP) and dual-enrollment

courses available to them.“-Princeton University

• “As long as a college or university documents your [Dual Credit] on its official transcript, it is eligible for MIT credit.”

-Massachusetts Institute of Technology

• “Courses that count towards a high school diploma will NOT count towards degree. However, completing such courses

could help determine placement within a subject.”-Stanford University

Page 13: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Colleges in Indiana - Their Perspective (Indiana, Purdue, Ball State and Butler)

Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit (DC)

• AP and DC viewed as having equal weight in terms of rigor and admissions.“5 to 7 years ago I would have said AP had more weight but dual credit has really evolved”

-- Butler University Rep

• Both are considered for college credit if minimums are met.-- Indiana University Rep

• They WANT the rigor (AP, DC, IB and/or Honors)“Both (AP and DC) demonstrate a student’s ability to handle rigor.”

-- Indiana University Rep

Page 14: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Perspectives from Colleges in Indiana (Indiana, Purdue, and Ball State)

Regarding General Education Credits from Ivy Tech

• Credits from Ivy Tech are viewed the same as credits from other Indiana Public Colleges

• “Equivalent is equivalent”- Indiana University Admissions Rep

• “No higher value given to one institution over the other, its more dependent on the course than the institution”

- Purdue University Admissions Rep

• Ivy Tech is accredited by the same accrediting agency as Indiana, Ball State, Purdue, and Butler

• “We are all accredited by the same agency, in terms of general electives we are not concerned if the credit is from IPFW or Ivy Tech. It’s the same to us.”

-Ball State University Admissions Rep

Page 15: AP, Dual Credit And Honors Information Meetingsacshomestead.ss16.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_762… · American colleges and universities often ... with honors, Advanced

Out of State Colleges- Their Perspective (University of North Carolina, University of Michigan. Miami of Ohio)

Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit (DC)

• “We evaluate AP, IB, and dual enrollment equally, so it’s entirely up to the student. When we’re reading applications, we’re mainly looking to see that students have challenged themselves by taking the most rigorous coursework available to them at their school.”

–University of North Carolina

• “As universities forge closer ties with community colleges, this is becoming more commonplace even for students at elite institutions. About 12% of the students who have been enrolled at the University of Michigan since their freshman year apply community-college credit toward their degree”

-Dilip Das, Assistant Vice Provost at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

• “Both are considered rigorous and considered the same during the admission process. One is not preferred to the other.”

–Miami of Ohio Admission Counselor

An Option For Those Who Want Options

GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CORE

• The Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC) was developed by the public institutions of higher education in Indiana in response to Senate Enrolled Act 182 (2012). It enables a student who satisfactorily completes an approved program of general education in any one of those institutions to transfer that coursework to any other state educational institution as a block of 30 credit hours towards the general education core requirements.

• Ivy Tech Community College has developed a transfer general education core (TGEC) that meets competency requirements identified by all state public higher education institutions. By completing all requirements of the TGEC, Ivy Tech students' transcript will note that the transfer core has been completed. Students will then receive a block transfer of 30 credit hours toward the general education core requirements of any state institution.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Indiana is one of 22 states

that require all public two-year and four year institutions to accept

college credits – such as those in the Core Transfer Library - that

are earned through Dual Credit programs.http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303465004579323140224236648

"There's a growing base of evidence that dual enrollment students do better in college. Students who've taken "dual

credit" classes in high school are more likely to start at four-year colleges and more likely to persist toward a degree. They

earn higher grades than similar students who haven't taken such classes.”

Katherine Hughes – Teachers College, Columbia University http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/2012/03/09/some-teens-start-college-work-early-via-dual-enrollment

"In many cases, dual enrollment and early college are the absolutely cheapest way to earn college credit because it's

free," says Dilip Das, assistant vice provost at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
