Math 120 and 121 are designated to represent AP credit only (AB and BC respectively). They are not representative of any specific U-M mathematics course.
The Department strongly encourages students with AP credit to elect one of the honors courses, Math 156, 174,175, 185, or 295. All such elections require permission of the Math Honors Advisor and placement may depend on factors other than AP score.
