Right now, I'm taking a lot of AICE classes in high school and I'm wondering which colleges in Florida are most likely to accept these for credit? Any ideas?
It's great that you're looking ahead to potentially maximize your college credit with AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) classes! Generally, public colleges and universities in Florida are more likely to accept AICE exam scores for credit, as it's a statewide policy to do so.
The University of Florida, for instance, recognizes AICE and provides college credit for AICE exams with scores of 'E' or higher. Florida State University and the University of Central Florida share similar policies. You can usually find specific institutions' policies on their websites under the "Credit by Exam" section, which will detail the AICE exams accepted and the corresponding credit awarded.
Private institutions in Florida can have more variation in their policies, and do not always list their AICE credit policies online, so it might be best to contact their admissions offices directly for the most precise information.
Remember that, although these credits may shorten the duration of your college studies or fulfill certain requirements, you should ensure they align with your intended major or program to make the most of them. For example, if you're aiming to study engineering, AICE credits in the sciences would likely be more beneficial to you than ones in the humanities.
