Hey guys, I've taken quite a few AICE courses during my high school career and I'm hoping to use them for credit in college. I'm focusing on colleges within Florida - does anyone know which colleges in the state accept the most AICE classes for credit?
The Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) program, created by Cambridge Assessment International Education, is recognized by many universities in Florida. Florida has a state mandate that any student who gets the full AICE diploma will automatically be accepted into any public university in Florida, as long as they meet the minimum SAT or ACT score.
In terms of granting credits, it varies from school to school and from course to course. At the University of Florida (UF), for example, a grade of 'E' or higher in AICE classes earns credit. The University of Central Florida (UCF) and Florida State University (FSU) also award credit using a similar standard. However, keep in mind that specific distribution might be subject to approval from individual departments.
State colleges in Florida like Valencia and Seminole State College, also tend to be very accepting of AICE credits. They usually award lower division credit for AICE exams, thereby allowing you to come in with a significant chunk of your general education requirements completed, allowing you to dive into your major courses earlier.
To find precise information related to your situation, I would recommend checking out the individual college websites or getting in touch with their Registrars or Admissions Offices. They often have detailed tables showing what AP, IB, AICE, CLEP, and other standardized exams they accept, and exactly what credit you'll get for them.
