Place out of courses
Placing out of MATH 0090
You will automatically be allowed to enroll in courses that have Math 0090 as a prerequisite if the Registrar has these AP or IB scores on record for you:
- AP AB Calculus score of at least 4
- AP BC Calculus score of at least 3
- IB Standard-Level Math Score of at least 6 (placement only)
- A-Levels Math H1 with a grade of C or higher (instructor override necessary for course registration)
Once the Registrar has your AP or IB scores in its system, Banner will automatically allow you to enroll in courses that have MATH 0090 as a prerequisite, and a notation to that effect will appear on your transcript.
Placing out of Math 0100
You can meet the Economics concentration requirement for Math 0100 Introductory Calculus II with any of the following:
- AP BC Calculus score of at least 4
- IB High-Level Math score of at least 5
- A-Levels Math H2 with a grade of C or higher (instructor override necessary for course registration)”
Once the Registrar has your AP or IB scores in its system, Banner will automatically allow you to enroll in courses that have MATH 0100 as a prerequisite, and a notation to that effect will appear on your transcript.
Placing out of ECON 0110
You can place out of Principles of Economics if you completed equivalent work before matriculating at Brown, as indicated by one of the following:
- AP exams in Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, with scores of at least 4 on both
- IB High-Level Economics score of at least 6 (IB Standard-Level not accepted)
- A-Levels with a grade of A on the A2 (A1 and AS not accepted)
Once the Registrar’s Office has your AP or IB scores in its system, Banner will automatically allow you to enroll in courses that have ECON 0110 as a prerequisite. In the case of A-levels, you must get approval from the department Transfer Credit Advisor and a Banner registration override code from the course instructor. Note that if you place out of ECON 0110, you will not receive concentration credit for the course, but rather will need to take an additional 1000-level economics course to fulfill the ten-course total required of all concentrators (i.e., you will need to take six, rather than five, upper-level electives).
