Wentworth Institute of Technology offers course equivalencies and credits from many Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate subject areas. Please consult the tables to determine the subject areas available to WIT students and minimum score requirements.

Advanced Placement (AP)

If the course equivalencies listed below are not required in the student's program, the student will receive credit for the required lower/prerequisite level course. Advanced Placement (AP) test scores of 3, 4, and 5 are accepted for credit unless otherwise noted. AP credit that was completed 5 or more years prior to the first semester enrolled in a degree seeking program is not eligible for transfer.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The CLEP program applies only to students who have been out of high school for at least three years. Students must have taken the CLEP examination before matriculating at Wentworth Institute of Technology. No student will receive credit for a CLEP examination if they have received credit at Wentworth Institute of Technology or transferred credit to the University for an equivalent course.

Students may receive academic credit by completing the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Examinations are offered in a wide variety of subjects and are tied closely to specific courses. To receive credit for CLEP exams, students need to achieve a "C" grade or better as a “Mean Scaled Score.”

Interested students must contact

International Baccalaureate Exams (IB)

Regarding ECON4102 PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS Directed HSS requirements: If a student transfers both Microeconomics (ECON4154 MICROECONOMICS) and Macroeconomics (ECON4102 PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS) the Directed ECON4102 PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS is completed plus four additional ECON credits. If a student transfers only ECON4152 MACROECONOMICS or ECON4154 MICROECONOMICS and requires ECON4102 PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS, then that student must still complete ECON4102 PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS.
