<p>I am a rising senior in HS and was wondering if I could skip my freshmen yr of college by taking all or most of the classes? Is there a website that tells u wat classes must be taken during ur freshmen yr?</p>
<p>What's your major?</p>
<p>I'm an hour short of being a sophomore because of all my APs that I took throughout high school. On the school's/department's webpage there should be something that says what classes you have to take for specific majors. If you test out of basic core classes through APs, though (i.e. calculus, economics, government, US history, etc), you can probably get credit for it, regardless of your major.</p>
<p>BrightRed, I am planning on majorning in Business.</p>
<p>shananana, does the # of core classes u have to complete depend on ur major?</p>
<p>No but the ability to skip an entire year and just become a sophomore does. For an engineering major, it would be impossible because of the engineering courses you need. However, you might be able to get out of the first year of business if you have enough credits.</p>
<p>Look at everything aside from Business Core Classes.</p>
<p>Also, throughout the university, to be classified as a sophomore, one only needs 30 hours of credits. For business, typically, a freshman will take BA 101, CMS 306M, and MIS 301. The other vacancies in one's schedule will be filled up with the other core classes such as finishing up the calculus sequence or the second government needed.</p>
<p>shananana, I asked because if he was majoring in the sciences and hope to go to graduate schools (med schools), most won't accept AP or CLEP credits in the sciences in lieu of actually taking the science classes.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how it works with business.</p>
<p>My D is coming in with 30+ credits, so she'll be classified as a sophomore, but I wouldn't exactly call it "skipping freshman year." I think this will help when it is time to register for spring classes - more likely to get the classes you want because you get to register before other first-year students with less than 30 credits.</p>
<p>BrightRed-- oh okay, I didn't know that. Fine Arts doesn't really care about taking university science classes haha</p>
