8th Grade Open House

What are AP and Dual Credit?

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

• ften 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

• pportunity to earn both high school and

college credits simultaneously. Dual credit courses are taught by credential high school faculty, adjunct college faculty or college faculty either at the high school, at the college or university, or sometimes through online courses

• r distance education.

Why AP and Dual Credit?

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

• 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.

• 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

• pportunity 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

• r 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?

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

• Rigor/Course Offerings

“It’s better to get the A in AP”

–Stanford University

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, 2017
• “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, 2017
• “Courses that count towards a high school diploma will NOT count

towards degree. However, completing such courses may determine placement within a subject or course sequence.”

• Stanford University, 2017

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
• f rigor and admissions.

“5 to 7 years ago I would have said AP had more weight but dual credit has really evolved”

• Butler University
• Both are considered for college credit if minimums

are met

• They WANT the rigor (AP, DC, IB and/or Honors)

“Both (AP and DC) demonstrate a student’s ability to handle rigor.”

• Indiana University

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

“No higher value given to one institution over the other, it’s more dependent on the course than the institution”

• Purdue University
• 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 PFW or Ivy Tech. It’s the same to us.” -Ball State

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.

http://www.ivytech.edu/gen-ed-transfer-core/index.html

By carefully selecting her Dual Credit courses, a student can take the Transfer General Education Core here at Homestead and transfer these courses to any Indiana public college or university.
