4. Mary Ellen Anderson, IU Director of Admissions “Indiana University, like most universities, encourages students to take the most rigorous curriculum available and appropriate for their skill level. Honors, Advanced Placement, and IB courses help prepare students for the academic transition from high school to college. The stronger the academic preparation, the easier the transition to college. Many selective colleges and universities may require a specific number of advanced level courses or will at least expect that a student with the ability to take advanced level courses will do so. Taking advanced level courses may also give students opportunities to “test out” of introductory level courses which can result in saving money and time.” “Indiana University, like most universities, encourages students to take the most rigorous curriculum available and appropriate for their skill level.
