Dual Credit

and

Advanced Placement

Information Meeting

Tonight’s PowerPoint will be available on My Big Campus and Guidance Homepage

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 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 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.

Why AP and Dual Credit?

• 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 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

• TRANSITION• CONFIDENCE

• ACADEMIC HONORS• TIME

What do the colleges say about AP and DC?

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

Advance 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, 2014

• Rigor/Course Offerings“Its better to get the A in AP”

–Stanford University Rep, 2014

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

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

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

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

Core Transfer Library (CTL)- www.transferin.net

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: www.transferin.net

Look up information:By Course (ex. Psychology)View Courses By CTL Name

Resource for Indiana Independent Colleges: http://oldweb.icindiana.org/pal/dualcredit/dcequivalents.asp

Searching by CTL Name

• By Course

1. Start by click here

2. Then select 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 would transfer to all the colleges listed

4. So ENG-W131 at IPFW transfers to

Just one example of how a student at HHS can satisfy almost all of the Gen Ed requirements at IU

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.

http://cts.admissions.indiana.edu/transferin.cfm

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.)

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 2014

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

Students can take the Transfer General Education Core here at Homestead and transfer these courses to any Indiana public college or university to serve in place of that
