Do many universities give college credit for Cambridge (AICE) exams passed?
Yes. CIE publishes a list on their website (www.cie.org.uk and search for “recognition”) of US universities that have provided written statements of their AICE (which includes AS and A Levels) recognition policy. All public universities and community colleges in Florida award up to 45 hours of college credits for AICE exams passed.
What are the primary differences between Cambridge, AP, and Dual Enrollment?
The reality is that all four programs are going to prepare a student for the rigors of college coursework, while offering them the opportunity to earn college credit (saving time and money) before stepping on campus. Cambridge includes a full curriculum that encourages students to take different courses to obtain a program diploma. AP, while currently the most widely recognized in the U.S., does not have a curriculum, but is still widely accepted and highly regarded. Dual Enrollment gives a student the opportunity to earn college credit through FIU at Robert Morgan Educational Center. Our school allows students to take Cambridge, AP, and Dual Enrollment college credit courses during all four years of their high school career and offers a level of flexibility not available at other schools when students are selecting classes.
At Robert Morgan Educational Center, any student can take a Cambridge AICE course, no matter the academy the student is enrolled in.
