Thomas Jefferson University AP credit

What each AP score earns at Thomas Jefferson University for 2026-2027: 38 exams, credit shown in credits. Always confirm with the school before you plan your schedule.

Rules that apply to every exam

Credit is awarded only if it is applicable to the student's program of study.
If a dual enrollment course for an AP course appears on a college transcript along with the AP exam score, Jefferson will award credit for the dual enrollment course instead.
Credit will not be awarded twice for the same coursework.
This is a general guideline; some programs may not have transfer space for all exams. Contact enroll@jefferson.edu to confirm how exams transfer into a major.
