<p>Reading more carefully, it gets a bit complicated. Credit can be granted by individual departments, but advanced placement is generally not granted by AP test, except for a few cases outside the major. Advanced placement can be granted by department placement exams, and there are a few cases of credit being given for the AP exam or a class, but not both.</p>
<p>For example, a 4 or 5 on the chemisty AP test grants credit for Chem 101 for non-chem majors.</p>
<p>I think one needs to read the fine print at the link for specific department info.</p>
