Missouri Southern participates in the Advanced Placement Program sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board. Credits are granted for course areas in which a student has completed Advanced Placement Examinations with a score of 3, 4, or 5. See the chart below for AP exams accepted by MSSU. To order AP scores, visit the College Board's Score Reporting Services page. MSSU's College Board code is 6322.
As credits not originally earned through instruction from MSSU, accepted credits will be applied as transfer credits on student transcript.
Transfer credits will be articulated for degree-seeking students. For non-degree seeking students, accepted credits may be articulated only if they are needed as pre-requisites for Missouri Southern courses.
