<p>I’m planning on doing my calulus requirements at the four year university. I am getting out of the army in a few months and I really don’t want to use my benefits at a CC…i try talking to an advisor, but you how that goes, no straight answers, not answering calls or refer you to a link. Anyways, thank you for your reply. </p>

<p>Then you would enter as a sophomore (perhaps with 2nd semester sophomore status due to credits in non-required subjects), then complete your sophomore credits (calculus + the classes listed above), which you need before you can enter the major as a junior.</p>
