Biology--a score of 4 or 5 earns unassigned credit in biology and placement beyond BIOL 0200. Even with qualifying AP scores, you are urged to take at least two college-level biology courses with laboratory.
Chemistry--Brown University no longer accepts AP scores in chemistry.
Mathematics--AB Calculus 4 or 5: earns credit for MATH 0090. BC Calculus 4 or 5: earns credit for both MATH 90 and MATH 0100. BC Calculus: earns credit for MA 0090. Even with AP credit, we recommend that you take at least one semester of college-level mathematics (preferably calculus).
Physics--5 in Physics ( (Mech.), or 4 in Physics C (Mech.) plus 5 in Physics C Elec. and Mag.), or 5 in Physics B. Any of these three options earns placement in PHYS 0040. Students who then successfully complete PHYS 0040 may receive retroactive credit for PHYS 0030. Be sure that your AP credit appears on your transcript once you have completed PHYS 0040. However, even with AP credit in physics, we recommend that you take two full semesters on the college level.
English--Brown does not accept AP credit in English. You should therefore plan on taking at least two semesters of English.
