Advanced Placement
When possible, MSOE awards advanced standing to students who have challenged themselves with AP courses as part of their high school curriculum.
For each of these AP classes/tests, a student must earn a score of 4 or 5 (unless otherwise stated) to receive advanced standing at MSOE.
