Advanced Placement TestingA student who receives a score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement exam receives credit for the appropriate Otterbein equivalent course (see the list of equivalencies below). Proficiency rather than credit will be noted for a score of 3 for any Otterbein equivalent course except Integrative Studies (INST) courses or Mathematics (MATH) courses and their substitutes (see Otterbein College Course Catalog). Exemption from MATH and INST courses and INST substitutes requires a score of 4 or 5. Proficiency means that the Otterbein equivalent course may be skipped when it is a required, prerequisite or co-requisite course. Score = 4 or 5: Credit granted for Otterbein equivalent course
Score = 3: Proficiency granted for Otterbein equivalent course except for INST or MATH courses and their substitutes.
Listed below are the AP tests which Otterbein accepts and their equivalent Otterbein course.
International Baccalaureate ProgramOtterbein College recognizes academic credits earned through the International Baccalaureate program. Students who earn the IB diploma will receive credit for the following courses (30 quarter hours):
Students who do not have an IB diploma but who have taken Higher Level IB exams will receive credit on a case-by-case basis for examinations that match courses in the College's curriculum. A score of 5, 6 or 7 is required. The official International Baccalaureate transcript/diploma should be submitted to the Admission Office as soon as it becomes available, which should be no later than the end of July following graduation.
