2 What are AP and Dual Credit?

3 Advanced Placement (AP) Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States and Canada created by the College Board, which offers collegelevel 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.

4 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 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 or distance education.

5 Why AP and Dual Credit?

6 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

7 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.

8 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, 2014

10 What do the colleges say about AP and DC?

11 Highly Selective Universities Perspective: (Duke, Stanford, Harvard, Georgetown and Penn) Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit (DC) They WANT AP classes Advanced Placement (AP) Meaningful/Intentional AP Any AP is good AP but not at the expense of the right AP University of Pennsylvania Rep, 2014 Rigor/Course Offerings Its better to get the A in AP Stanford University Rep, 2014

12 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, 2014 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, 2014 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, 2014

13 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, 2014 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 Rep, 2014

14 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, 2014 No higher value given to one institution over the other, its more dependent on the course than the institution - Purdue University Admissions Rep, 2014 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 Admissions Rep, 2014

19 How do I find out what my dual credit course will transfer as to other public Indiana colleges?

20 Core Transfer Library (CTL)- Answer where they go and how they count CTL is a list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public college and university campuses, assuming adequate grades. Go to: Look up information: By Course (ex. Psychology) View Courses By CTL Name

21 Searching by CTL Name 1. Start by clicking here 2. Then select the course you are interested in taking in the drop down box ex. English Composition (IPFW W131) 3. What you get is the how that course will transfer to all the colleges listed 4. So ENG-W131 at IPFW transfers to Indiana University as ENG-W131

23 How Can Students Use Homestead Dual Credit and Excellent Advanced Placement Exam Scores to Make Progress Toward Their Post-Secondary Goals?

24 Indiana University at Bloomington All undergraduate students who matriculate as degree-seeking students at IU Bloomington are required to complete the campus-wide GenEd Program prior to graduation with a baccalaureate degree. Approved courses are published in each edition of the IU Bloomington General Education Bulletin.

25 Just one example of how a student at HHS can satisfy almost all of the Gen Ed requirements at IU IU Bloomington Requirement HHS Course 1 English Composition ENG W 131 or ENGL Mathematical Modeling Finite MATH Arts and Humanities Creative Writing ENGL 202 Art Appreciation FINA H101 2 Social and Historical Studies AP U.S. History AP Government 2 Natural and Mathematical Anatomy and Physiology Sciences APHY 101/102 4 World Languages Spanish or French 101, 102, 201, and 202

26 What will careful Dual Credit and AP course selection do for students headed to IU? All but 6 credits of the IU GenEd Curriculum requirements can be earned at HHS. (All are actually offered at Homestead, but IU requires that you take 6 credits while in residence at Bloomington.) By taking 10 Homestead AP and/or Dual Credit courses from the IU Gen Ed Curriculum list, a student goes to IU with 30+ credit hours on her IU transcript. The student can go to IU with her first year of college behind her at little or no cost to her family - a savings of up to $19,882! (Tuition plus one year room and board.)

27 Purdue University at West Lafayette Starting in 2013, all undergraduate students must meet the foundational learning outcomes, which are the same for all students, regardless of discipline or major. To meet Indiana s Statewide Transfer General Education Core requirements, students at Purdue - WL must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours.

28 Just one example of how a student at HHS can satisfy almost all of the Gen Ed courses at Purdue. Purdue Requirement HHS Course English Composition ENGL 111 and ENGL 112 (must take both courses) Behavioral and Social AP Government Sciences Humanities AP U.S. History Informational Literacy Statistics - MATH 200 Oral Communication Speech COM Quantitative Reasoning AMAT/Trig MATH 136 Science 2 courses Physics PHYS 22000

29 Just one example of how additional classes may apply to engineering or other Purdue degrees. Students pursuing a Construction Engineering Degree can use 12 hours of their PLTW course work.

37 Ivy Tech Northeast Fort Wayne 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. June

A minimum GPA of 2.0 for the 30 hours of courses within the Statewide Transfer General Education Core is required to meet the standard for satisfactory completion. Once a student has satisfactorily completed the requirements of the Statewide Transfer General Education Core at an Indiana state educational institution, the institution will validate and then document that completion on the student s official transcript. If that student subsequently transfers to another state educational institution, the receiving institution will accept that documentation as satisfying its own Statewide Transfer General Education Core requirements. Furthermore, the receiving institution will apply toward satisfying the transfer student s degree requirement of at least 30 credit hours of transfer credit.
