<p>AP Calculus BC is useful for Engineers - your son will be able to get out of Calculus 1 and 2. Engineers can also use AP History to get out of GE category IV. Certain AP science courses will not replace your son’s classes, but it will definitely make it easier to do well in them (ex: Physics, Chemistry). I was able to get out of 16 credits (Calculus 1, 2, 3, and Differential Equations); half was AP, the other half was community college in high school.</p>
