Calculus AB and BC (Liberal Arts Students Only):
AB 4 or 5, or BC 4, or BC 3 with an AB
subscore of 4 or 5: One credit, equivalent to
Mathematics 11, and placement into
Mathematics 12 or one mathematics credit and
placement into Mathematics 17.
BC 5: Two credits, equivalent to Mathematics
11 and 12, and placement into Mathematics
13, 18, 46, or 54. However, only one Mathematical Sciences
distribution credit is received.
General Information about Pre-Matriculation Credit
for Liberal Arts Students
earned from certain scores on Advanced Placement
and SATII examinations, scores on examinations
of certain international diplomas, as well as credits
earned from college courses taken prior to matricu-
lation at Tufts. Pre-matriculation credits are treated
as regular course credits, but are not normally applied
toward the concentration. These credits may be accepted
in partial satisfaction of the foundation requirements.
They also may count toward one of the two credits
required in each distribution area. If the credit received is
equivalent to a Tufts course, the student may not
take the course for additional credit toward the
degree. Students do not need to take the next level
course in order to keep the pre-matriculation credit
(except where stated). Liberal arts students are lim-
ited to five pre-matriculation credits toward their
degree. Credits earned prior to matriculation via
Tufts summer session are not included in this limit.
Secondary school students who have taken college
courses should consult the appropriate departments
regarding their placement and the possible
award of credits. Credit is generally awarded only
for courses taken at a college with regularly
enrolled college students. Some colleges offer their
courses at nearby secondary schools for classes
composed entirely of secondary school students;
credit is not awarded for these courses.
Restrictions
Mathematics 5 may not also receive credit for Mathematics 5.
Students with pre-matriculation credit equivalent to
Mathematics 6 may not also receive credit for Mathematics 6.
Students with pre-matriculation credit equivalent to
Mathematics 11 may not also receive credit for Mathematics 5 or 11.
Students with pre-matriculation credit equivalent to
Mathematics 12 may not also receive credit for Mathematics 12 or 17.
However, Liberal Arts students who receive pre-matriculation credit for Math 5, 11, or 12
may also take Mathematics 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 for credit. Those who receive pre-matriculation
credit for Math 6 may also take Mathematics 7, 8, 9, or 10 for credit.
