@koolguy654:

I had looked it once (in context of engineering, not specific to chemical engineering). NU engineering is quite generous if you have 5 in AP exams. Specifically, 7 humanities credits that engineers require can all be substituted with AP credits. A score of 5 in AP US HIstory actually gives you 2 credits! Just search for AP Credit McCormick and you will see the full list.

Then Calc BC gets you off 2 required Maths classes, and AP Chem also helps.

I think a masters degree is 12 credits additional, so with a lot of AP credits, it can be done in 4 years.

Similarly, for students who are interested in this particular path, an engineering major + Kellogg Certificate + Econ double major can also be done in 4 years (not taking more than 4 classes any term), for those with a sufficient no. of AP credits.
