Advanced Placement Credit

As of June 23, 2020, programs in this catalog will no longer be offered to new students at the Denver and North Miami campuses.  At the close of the 2020-2021 academic year (subject to possible courses through the summer of 2021), no programs in this catalog will be offered to any students at the Denver and North Miami campuses, as those campuses will be closing after the end of the 2020-2021 academic year (subject to possible courses through the summer of 2021).

Students entering Johnson & Wales University with Advanced Placement test scores of 3 or greater will be granted transfer credit for the equivalent JWU course or courses, based on the score levels attained. In order to obtain credit, students must submit official AP Grade Reports from the College Board Advanced Placement Program. To view the currently approved AP course equivalencies and the respective required scores, go to the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) and type "College Board" in the search box. Exam titles are listed alphabetically preceded by the designation "AP." For more information about AP credit, contact University Transfer and Testing through Student Academic Services.

JWU's Physician Assistant program does not accept CLEP, DSST or Advanced Placement (AP) credits to fulfill prerequisite courses. Admissions will consider AP credits for one of the English course prerequisites on a case-by-case basis.

Policies regarding the treatment of AP, CLEP or DSST transfer credit vary among graduate, professional and medical schools.
