<p>does ap credit take place of introductory courses, for, say, economics (201, 202)? is there a departmental exam for the sciences/ math? what exactly is the policy?</p>

<p>If you want to major in Econ, it may be another story as to how many courses count towards a degree (each department gets to make its own rules), but you would most likely be able to use 201 and 202 toward the major’s core requirements. Only one would be applicable toward the Weinberg Area III distro.</p>
<p>As for departmental exams, again the departments are in charge of this.</p>
