Students may use AP exams to fulfill lower division Environmental Sciences requirements. The chart below shows AP scores and course equivalencies. However, using AP scores in lieu of taking a requirement is not required. Students may choose, without penalty, to take a class for which they already received AP credit.

High school AP work, no matter how demanding, is not necessarily the same as college level work. Berkeley professors' expectations of what students should know can differ greatly from what high school students might expect. If you decide to skip a course based on an AP score, be prepared for a higher level workload.

Note: AP scores cannot be used to fulfill the Seven Course Breadth requirements.
