| Kiri, not a problem. I thought you were saying you only thought that AP English could satisfy an "English" requirement and Tisch has the Writing the Essay (two semesters) requirement and AP credits cannot be used for that (which is correct) and I wanted to make sure you knew the English falls under Humanities and they do have Humanities requirements (they can take ANYTHING in Humanities, including English). Therefore, the AP English falls under the Humanities requirements. I am not familiar with using AP credits at Tisch as my D did not, but given what RossJi was saying, I wanted to make sure you knew that English was part of the Humanities, even though a student can take any departmental courses which fall under the broad umbrella of "Humanities." So, while AP English wouldn't be in lieu of Writing the Essay, it seems from RossJi's D's experience, it can be used for a Humanities credit since English falls under the Humanities. The best thing, however, is to ask the school directly. I distinctly recall at the Saturday in the Square event my D's year, a LOT of parents were asking about AP credits. I don't have the low down on that, but it does seem that a lot of kids are graduating Tisch in 3 1/2 years, in part, due to having some AP credits coming in. Make sure to call and see about how your D's AP credits would be handled. |
