College Credit Plus students must complete 15 ch of Level I courses (i.e., First 15) before progressing to Level II courses. Exceptions to the First 15 rule: A student can continue with a course in the same subject, test directly into a Level II course, or self-pay for the course.
Students who have achieved the required AP or IB course examination scores may count the course toward the First 15. For more information about each course, please visit the YSU Course Catalog, catalog.ysu.edu
YSU offers 30 credit hour pathways of Level I courses for majors in business, education, creative arts and communications, health and human services, liberal arts and STEM.
