Increasingly, more students are taking Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and dual-enrollment courses and obtaining college credit, sometimes even satisfying all general education requirements, prior to beginning their first semester as a college student.
In response, working with campus partners, UTOP will begin to offer Major tracks for students who have already obtained credit for the general education courses traditionally offered by the program.
