* Students entering the program must hold advanced placement credit in
Calculus A and B. Alternatively, students must hold advanced placement
credit for General Physics I and II, and complete Calculus A and B during
the summer prior to their first semester at TCNJ.
*By advisement only.
One Liberal Learning course requirement is met at New
Jersey Medical School.
*** Students who scored 580 or above on the SAT Verbal and 580 or above on the SAT Math will be exempt from this requirement. Students with a score on the SAT Verbal or SAT Math lower than 580 will be given a placement test. Students who score 4 or higher on the placement test will also be exempt from WRI 102.
Advanced Placement (AP) is awarded for a number of courses including Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc. For further details on AP placement click here
