Cambridge International Examination (CIE) Program

The University of Arizona accepts Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Advanced--AS- and A-level--scores (as well as College-Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, DSST, and International Baccalaureate exam scores) as a basis for awarding credit toward a degree.  Students who complete CIE classes in their high school may take Cambridge International exams prior to coming to the University.  Exams are administered through Cambridge International at high schools each May.

CIE credit is considered credit by examination at the UA.  Credit is determined from the CIE credit table that applies to the date when the exam was taken.  Credits earned based on the exam score may be counted toward the student's major or minor fields of study or General Education requirements.  See the CIE credit table below, and contact your college academic advisor to confirm how course credit will apply toward a specific degree program.
