<p>Outside of freeing up space for taking more elective credit, AP credits are not that big of a deal. Almost ALL engineering, math, physics and computer science programs are constructed on the basis that the freshman student has absolutely ZERO AP credits.</p>
<p>On top of that the first two years of ALMOST ALL engineering, math, physics and computer science programs are the same during the first 2 years:</p>
<p>Freshman - Fall Semester
- Calculus I
- Computer Science I
- Chemistry I (if school requires at least 1 Chem course)
- English Composition</p>
<p>Freshman - Spring Semester
- Calculus II
- Computer Science II (if a CS, CompE or Math major)
- Physics I (mechanics)</p>
<p>Sophomore - Fall Semester
- Linear Algebra
- Computer Organization (if a CS or CompE major)
- Physics II (electricity & magnetism)
- Electric Circuits I (if an EE or CompE major)</p>
<p>Sophomore - Spring Semester
- Calculus III (all engineering/physics/math majors…not CS majors)
- Differential Equations (all engineering/physics/math majors…not CS majors)
- Physics III (modern physics - some engineering/physics/math majors…definitely not CS)
- Discrete Structures (CS, CompE and Math majors)</p>
<p>Note: I did not include the social science/humanities general education courses.</p>
