AP or IB Credit in Chemistry
Some students enter William and Mary with AP, IB, or college credit in chemistry.
- An AP score of 4 or IB score of 5 (higher level) is sufficient to receive credit for Chem 103 and Chem 103L (General Chemistry 1 and Lab).
- An AP score of 5 or IB score of 6 or 7 receives credit for Chem 103, 103L, 208, and 254.
CHEM 208 fulfills the General Chemistry II classroom requirement but not the lab requirement, so students with AP 4 or IB 5 credit will still need to take CHEM 254 (General Chemistry Lab II) or 256 (Quantitative and Inorganic Lab) to complete lab requirements. These lab courses are offered only in the Spring semester.
If you have questions, please speak with your faculty advisor, or stop by the Chemistry Office.
