How can I reduce the number of required Honors courses I'll need to take in order to graduate with Honors?
Many Honors students receive credit for UA courses through AP/ IB examinations and are able to move ahead in their undergraduate degrees. In recognition of the high level of academic achievement of students through AP and IB coursework, the Honors College will adjust the number of units required for graduation with Honors and First Level Honors.
- Students who enter Honors as freshmen and receive a 4 or 5 on a minimum of two AP examinations will reduce by 3 the number of credits required for graduation with Honors and First Level Honors.
- Students who enter Honors as freshmen and receive a 4 or 5 on four or more AP examinations will reduce by 6 the number of credits required for graduation with Honors and First Level Honors.
- Students who enter Honors as freshmen and receive a 5, 6, or 7 on one to three IB examinations will reduce by 3 the number of credits required for graduation with Honors and First Level Honors.
- Students who receive a 5, 6, or 7 on four or more IB examinations will reduce by 6 the number of credits required for graduation with Honors and First Level Honors.
