Advanced Placement (AP) Examination in CSU General Education–Breadth Certification
The Advanced Placement examinations listed in Figure 2-4 at the end of this chapter may be incorporated into the certification of completion of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements by any participating institution. Students must have scored 3, 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement examination listed below to receive the credit indicated. All CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown below and apply them toward fulfillment of the designated General Education-Breadth area, if the examination is included as part of a full or subject-area certification, and units toward admission.
Please note: Individual CSU campuses may choose to accept more units than those specified in the “Advanced Placement Examination in CSU GE” chart (See Academic Policies and Procedures section) toward completion of General Education-Breadth or admission requirements. The CSU campus to which the student is transferring determines the total number of units to be awarded for successful completion of Advanced Placement examination(s) and how the exam scores may apply to other graduation requirements.
See the chart in the Academic Policies and Procedures section for details on the AP credit CSU allows.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Examination in CSU General Education–Breadth Certification
Some IB exams may be used on the CSU GE-Breadth pattern. Please see a counselor for a list of the International Baccalaureate (IB) exams that may be used on the CSU GE-Breadth pattern.
