Advanced Placement
Missouri State University-West Plains recognizes the Advanced Placement (AP) Program and awards credit for many of the subjects offered. A copy of the current AP policy is available from the Office of Admissions. Not more than 25 percent of the credit required for a degree may be non-traditional. Non-traditional credits include those awarded for correspondence courses (limited to a total of 9 credit hours), credit by examination (including CLEP, advanced placement, institutional exams, DANTES, etc.), service schools, physical education for more than one year of active military duty, and non-collegiate courses.
