Print View

Credit and advanced placement may be awarded to students on the basis of results on the Advanced Placement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board. A minimum score of 3 is required for credit consideration. Students may be asked to provide textbook and course materials for the respective departments to evaluate when making advanced placement decisions.
 
Advanced Placement Tests are available in a variety of academic disciplines offered at Bridgewater. Students interested in taking one or more of these tests for the purpose of obtaining credit and advanced placement at Bridgewater should confer with the secondary school principal during their junior year or earlier and with the College upon application for admission.
 
The College considers the results of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) as a means of determining advanced placement for students who have not followed the traditional pattern of preparation.
