Current ACP Courses and Descriptions for Launch
The following courses are offered to high school students to earn college credit. The number of credit/semester hours for each course is indicated in parentheses ( ) after the course title.
The indications of [C], [MI], [V], [SS], [H], and [MS] reflect which university general education requirements are satisfied by each Advanced Credit course. Courses that satisfy more than one goal, as designated, may be counted for all of the subject areas listed. Courses that are marked with the MOTR Transfer guarantee are part of Missouri's Core 42 which means that they must be accepted at all Missouri institutions. This DOES NOT mean that the other Advanced Credit courses will not be accepted for college credit. It simply means that other institutions reserve the right to accept the transfer as general education requirements, program requirements, or to satisfy graduation electives.
