Advanced Placement (AP), International Placement Credit (IPC), and Pre-Matriculation Credit (PMC)
Duke considers coursework and examinations completed prior to matriculation (your start date at Duke) in determining your placement for many of its classes.
Duke recognizes three types of pre-college work:
- Advanced Placement Credit (AP)
- International Placement Credit (IPC)
- Pre-Matriculation Credit (PMC, i.e., college courses taken during high school)
See Trinity's AP and IPC and PMC webpage for more information regarding its pre-matriculation course credit policies and procedures.

Duke recognizes the Advanced Placement program of the College Board and grants credit for some advanced courses with scores of 4 or 5 on the AP exam. Departments have different criteria for whether to accept AP courses toward the major.
See the Table of AP Scores and Duke Credit by Department for a summary of AP credits with their Duke course equivalents.
