<p>Hi. I need some help in selecting my next year’s subject - HUG or CP.
I’m a science-person, having completed all physical sciences AP in my freshmen year.
Now, as turning senior, I’m having some dilemma on figuring out whether AP HUG (Human Geography) or CP (Comparative Gov’t) would be more beneficial in terms of my college life.
I can’t take both subjects in my school (as the schedule coincides with science classes), so I’m planning to register for online course during this summer vacation and winter vacation.
Which subject would be a better choice in terms of ‘self-studying’ and ‘usefulness in my college life’? Thanks for your help in advance.</p>
<p>“Useful in college” is pretty subjective. If you’re going to be majoring in something science-y, neither of them may be <em>that</em> useful, but I’ve been checking out some selective colleges lately (I don’t know where you’re planning to apply) and many of them won’t give AP credit for Human. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, AP Human is probably the easiest AP class out there. I’m not sure how it works at your school, but in mine (and many others) AP Human is a freshman class. AP Government(s) are for seniors, if that gives you any indication to the difficulty level haha. If you take gov, you should definitely have a solid foundation in both US and World History, if possible.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. In our school, there’s no HUG class (they tell us to self-study) and I’ve taken USGP during my junior (10th grade). I think I would have to talk more with my teachers in social studies dept. Thanks again!</p>
<p>I’d recommend HuG. It might not be useful in college but I think it’d be useful later on in life for conversations and such, especially as 3rd world issues continue to grab the attention of 1st world nations.</p>
<p>@QuadMaster is right you gotta learn that cocktail curriculum</p>
