Because
the Project Lead The Way program offered through the
Engineering Academy at North Penn High School has been
reviewed and certified by a PLTW National Affiliate
University, students now have an opportunity
to receive college credit and recognition from
participating colleges and universities throughout the
country. These institutions vary somewhat in their
requirements for awarding credit to students.
Generally, the requirements include a “B” average in
the PLTW course and a 70% or higher on the PLTW college
credit examination administered at North Penn. A
summary of each affiliate’s requirements appears on the
PLTW website on the Parents/Students page.
Please click here for more information.
There are
only positive reasons for taking the college credit
exam (known as Part C) of the end-of-year course
assessment, and any student in the course may take it.
There is no cost for taking Part C. It provides an
opportunity to see how students do on a college
examination. Eligible students who complete the school
course with a “B” or higher and who receive a passing
grade on the test (Parts A and C) may apply for college
credit for a course taken in high school. The tuition
charge varies with affiliate centers and state
requirements.
Although
each college is different, PLTW has received letters
from parents whose sons/daughters have been accepted by
colleges/universities because of their success in the
challenging PLTW pre-engineering program. Having
received
college credit adds to the
admissions picture for your son or daughter. We invite
you to consider this exciting option.
