Baruch College Now

• AP classes are high school courses that award high school credit. Note, students who take the AP exam can earn college credit dependent on the exam score received (usually a 4 or 5).
• College Now courses are undergraduate level classes that award college credit upon successful completion of the course (grade of C or higher).

For more information on these differences and post-secondary outcomes on each program, check out the following article: Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment: What’s a student to choose?
