AP Latin credit in other states
How we ranked this
One row per Ohio college: the lowest score that earns actual credit under the policy that applies to all students, and the largest credit award published at that score. Placement-only policies — permission to skip a course without earning credit hours — are excluded. Credit hours and course equivalents are reproduced exactly as the college published them; “—” means no value was published and we do not estimate one. A page is published for a state only when at least 8 colleges back it.
Frequently asked questions

What is the lowest AP Latin score that earns credit in Ohio?+
3. Ohio State University-Main Campus in Columbus awards credit at a score of 3, worth 10 credit hours, counting as Latin 1101.01 & 1102.01. 75 Ohio colleges in total set their bar at a 3 or lower.
Does in-state residency change AP credit in Ohio?+
No. AP credit policy is set per institution and applies to admitted students regardless of residency — residency affects tuition rate, not credit awards. What does vary is the school within a university: engineering and nursing colleges commonly set higher bars than arts and sciences. The rules shown here are the ones that apply to all students at each college.
How do I verify these Ohio AP credit policies?+
85 of the 85 colleges on this page link to their own published AP credit page in the Source column; our snapshot was taken July 30, 2026. The college's page is authoritative and can change between admission cycles, so confirm there before building a graduation plan around the credit.
