Get Ahead
At Winthrop, you’ll belong to a community of
learners who want you to succeed, both academically
and personally. And learning doesn’t stop once you
leave the classroom. Your studies will lead you to
hands-on research, internships, or international travel,
making your years at Winthrop the most challenging
and exciting time in your life! When you graduate,
you will be confident and ready to serve as a leader
in the world beyond campus — and that world
will be a better place because you were part of the
Winthrop community.
Get off to a great start by receiving Advanced
Placement (AP) credit for scores of 3 or higher on
AP exams (taken with designated high school AP
classes). On the back, you can view a complete
chart of possible credits through AP testing*. AP
exams can help you get ahead and stay ahead!
