Saint Mary's College welcomes students who have challenged themselves in the classroom by taking Honors, Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses.

We review applications using a weighted GPA. Accepted students will also have the opportunity to transfer credits earned through examinations in AP or IB courses. The College grants up to a full year of college credit for AP examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board or higher-level IB courses.

The following is a summary of courses that students may receive credit for based on successful results.
