<p>I think nygirl is talking about using AP credits (for example, AP History/English/Foreign Lang) to fulfill the mandatory 9 credits of nontechnical elective courses. The point is to get rid of the liberal arts requirements to free up more space for advanced math/science classes.</p>
<p>The SEAS bulletin says that’s OK, right here:</p>
<p>"Liberal Arts Core for SEAS Students: 27-Point Nontechnical Requirement</p>
<p> SEAS students must take 16 to 18 points of credit of required courses in list A and 9 to 11 elective points chosen from the approved courses in list B. The total combined number of nontechnical points (from lists A and B, below) must add up to at least 27. Neither list can be modified by advising deans or faculty advisers.</p>
<p> **Advanced Placement (AP) credit in appropriate subject areas can be applied toward the 9-point elective nontechnical requirement. **"</p>
<p>Say, for example, I have 5’s on AP Calc BC, AP Micro & Macro, AP English Lang & Lit.
That’s 6 credits from Calc I & II, 4 credits from Econ 1105, and 6 more nontech elective credits.
So I’d start out with Calc III, Econ 3211 (or 3213), and only have to take 3 additional points worth of nontech electives to fulfil the 9-point requirement.</p>
<p>At least that’s how I think it would work, someone please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
