Will my dual enrollment or AP courses count towards my degree or course completion?

UC Merced courses are highly rigorous and frequently exceed the difficulty of transferrable courses. Given that our students come from diverse academic backgrounds, it is essential for SJV PRIME+ students to experience this level of rigor to ensure their success in medical school. 

The SJV PRIME+ MedEd Core courses are required to be taken at UC Merced. Students with AP/College credits for a particular course (e.g., Calculus) may opt to repeat that course at UC Merced or select a higher-level course in that field (e.g., Multi-Variable Calculus, Linear Algebra). However, students may not use AP/College credits to be exempt from any MedEd Core or UC Merced required courses.
