<p>I already have a history credit from last year's US History test (and I also received credit for Statistics)...i'm an intended mechanical engineer and/or industrial design major. this year, i'm taking english, calculus bc, european history, and psychology. anyone know if getting credit for euro or psychology would do me any good considering I already have a US history credit? I know the obvious answer is that they will cover elective credits but do they hold any weight further than that?</p>
<p>I'm in Arts & Letters and my AP credit from history, psychology and government covered all the requirements. I would think that engineering is more lax about that stuff too since you just have university requirements, which is what? one social science? or two? Your AP can get you out of ever having to take those intro classes, at least that's what one of the AL deans told me, but I'm a social science major so I would have enough social science credits anyway. I would say come out with at least two 5s on social science/history tests and you shouldn't have to worry about taking those classes if you don't want.</p>
<p>The Psych would get you out of you social science requirement (the University requires both one History and one Social Science). The Euro would probably be redundant, but still try to do well, in case I'm wrong or you change your mind (which happens VERY frequently... not that you will, just sayin'). If you really have a question, find the FYS contact info and shoot them an e-mail or give them a call. They'll answer any questions you have.</p>
<p>Engineering requires (1) of each- History, Fine arts or Lit, and Social Science(psych counts for this!). It also requires (2)of each- Phil and Theology. In addition, you have to take the First Year Composition class, unless you have AP credit. Definately try to take the psych AP if possible and a History. It will help tremendously in engineering as the workload can be grueling!</p>
<p>thank you all! i think i should be able to pull off knocking off least one semester of calculus and first year composition. sounds like i should devote more time to psychology these next few days than european...i don't mind a bit</p>
