<p>According to page 10 of the Medill handbook ( <a href=“http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/medill/about/finalhandbook0506.pdf[/url]”>http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/medill/about/finalhandbook0506.pdf</a> ), “Students who have earned AP credit may apply them to meet distribution requirements where appropriate.” It goes on to say that the AP credit cannot be used to fulfill journalism courses, the social science or six-unit elective concentrations - the majority of the tests are accepted and a score of 5 gives one or two units of credit.
