AP Credit for Arts + Science

<p>Do students who go to Arts + Science get any AP credit? Because when I was looking at the Vanderbilt site it says that AP doesn't satisfy AXLE requirements...</p>

<p>You won’t get credit for AXLE requirements with APs, but you can get “free” credit to apply toward degree requirements. You can find information here: [AP/IB</a> Credit | College of Arts and Science | Vanderbilt University](<a href=“http://as.vanderbilt.edu/registrar/academicpolicies/apibcredit/]AP/IB”>http://as.vanderbilt.edu/registrar/academicpolicies/apibcredit/).</p>

<p>So I have to retake BC calc again… darn it thx</p>

<p>Why do you have to retake it? Are you in a program that requires that level calc? If so, I am guessing you need to retake it because you did not get a 4 or 5. In that case, don’t look at having to take the class at the college level as “retaking.” I would bet that you will find you are not bored! ;)</p>

<p>i must be misunderstanding, since I’m an incoming freshman in the college of arts + science, to fulfill the axle requirements don’t I have to do bc calc again? i got a 5 on the bc calc exam.</p>

<p>AXLE doesn’t specifically require that you take calculus. It requires three courses that are categorized as “Mathematics and Natural Sciences,” and there are many options, from Oceanography to Anthropology (see [AXLE</a> | College of Arts and Science | Vanderbilt University](<a href=“http://as.vanderbilt.edu/academics/axle/distribution_courses.php]AXLE”>http://as.vanderbilt.edu/academics/axle/distribution_courses.php) for a full list of courses). Your math credit for BC Calc will NOT count towards this requirement.</p>

<p>Now, if your major requires you to take calc (as many do), you won’t have to take it, as it will be fulfilled by your BC calc credit.</p>

<p>thanks for the help</p>
