I presume so, but I don't know how it looks on your transcript. Of course, some schools don't take AP or IB credit. You'd have to check the DSE or ask each school before applying. You don't want to be surprised after submitting and realizing you lack a key requirement.

The transcript does not mention that you took these courses before enrolling in the college (you were in high school or a dual enrollment student)?
