<p>You can get 4 units of credit each plus waived out of 2 GE reqs:</p>
<p>*AP US History or AP European History score of 4 or 5
*AP Bio or AP Chem score of 4 or 5 </p>
<p>I believe you can waive out of your 3 semester foreign language req with AP Lang 4 or 5, but you only receive 4 units of credit</p>
<p>All other APs give 4 units elective credit. </p>
<p>Generally, the more AP credit you come in with counts toward units needed to graduate–at USC it’s 128 units, however you still need to satisfy the reqs of your major/minor or double majors–and that may mean you don’t really take any advantage from those banked elective credits.</p>
<p>For anyone who seriously wants to graduate in 3 years, you can use the elective credits and 2 GEs for up to 32 units, and complete most single majors. When you start adding more majors, or if you are getting a BFA or other specialized degree, there may not be a way to complete it all in 3 years.</p>
