AP and IB Equivalencies


The University Honors Program offers HNRS credit for AP and IB tests in the appropriate areas in accordance to LMU’s AP and IB equivalences. However, Honors sections of courses (including specifically Literary Analysis; Historical Analysis; and Nature of Science, Technology, and Mathematics) may not be satisfied in this way. AP credit in a foreign language fulfills the Honors language requirement.

Liberal Studies Students


Students who are working toward elementary education credentials need to meet with the Honors Director to determine the best coursework path. Decisions about courses will be made in consultation with the Center for Undergraduate Teacher Preparation.
