<p>For students pursuing the regular General Education requirements:</p>

<p>-A score of 4 or 5 on a foreign language AP waives the third semester FL requirement.
-A score of 4 or 5 on AP Art (History) or History (European) waives the GE Cat 1 Western Cultures and Traditions.
-A score of 4 or 5 on AP Biology, Chemistry, Physics (B), Physics (C- Mechanics) or Physics (C- Electricity/Magnetism) waives the GE Cat 3 Scientific Inquiry.</p>
