AP & College Credit

College Credit Plus

Ohio’s College Credit Plus can help students earn college and high school credits simultaneously by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course at a public college or university is free. That means no cost for tuition, books, or fees. You may have limited costs if you choose to attend a private college or university.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

At WC, students have access to ten AP courses starting in their sophomore year, offering them the chance to engage in advanced studies in math, English, history, and art. These courses, designed to mimic college-level curricula, encourage students to develop critical thinking skills, hone their problem-solving abilities, and explore complex topics in depth. At the end of each course, students take the corresponding AP exam. Most colleges and universities accept the course as college credit if the student scores a three or higher (on a five-point scale) on the exam. Because each institution has different rules about AP coursework, it’s best to consult the college or university of interest to your student.
