<p>DD was to have been a freshman at Tulane. She got credit for a number of high school AP courses, and is having some trouble identifying equivalent courses to the ones on her fall Tulane schedule. (For example, what is equivalent to Calculus III?) We don’t have a hardcopy Tulane course catalog. Does anyone know of an online listing for Tulane course material?</p>
<p>Calc III would most likely be Multivariable Calculus. If she took AP-Calc BC, it would have been the equivalent of Calc I & II. One way to find out is to search for other colleges’ online catalogs. Not all call their Calculus sequence Calc I, II, III, but a large number do.</p>
<p>NewHope33…you don’t need the Tulane Catalog for even though your daughter was placed into that class you don’t really know if it was appropriate. Calc crosses to all colleges…you can find out where her competent level is.</p>
<p>Great suggestion Marite. Thanks. I’m not concerned about DD’s level of competence, but rather making sure that course contents are sufficiently similar that (a) credits transfer and (b) DD would not be asked to take a fourth Calculus class at Tulane. She’s a life sciences major by the way.</p>

<p>Thank you, thank you, thank you, tanman!</p>
<p>S is a freshman too and it’s tricky figuring out how to put together a schedule that will integrate well later with Tulane’s curriculum. The freshman group hasn’t had much yet in the way of advisement so this information is VERY helpful.</p>
