Lemme reiterate the PRATT part in all this:

1) Engineers must have five credits in what I call the Trinity Distribution that SBR described on the previous page. These are five courses total spanning in the social science (SS), art/lit/performance (ALP), civilizations (CZ), and foreign language (FL) areas of knowledge. The qualifiers:
1a) One must be a social science
1b) Two must be from the same department, with at least one at the 100 level
1c) You must cover at least three of the four areas (including SS)

2) All AP credits but statistics count for something, though Trinity will only allow us to count two towards the five in the Trinity Distribution. Also, you must take a Physics class once enrolled. That means if you come in with an AP Bio, an AP Chem, two AP Math, two AP Phy, and two AP liberal arts stuff, you have knocked out eight requirements (and added one - Physics of some kind). You can thus graduate with just 27 more credits. OH yeah you can…

And people say Pratt’s curriculum is restrictive. P-shaw.
