<p>The AP table in Cornell</a> Engineering: Grades and Credit states that you can get credit for one FWS with a 5 in an AP English. It also says (in the footnotes) that for a 4 you are "eligible for 3 credits, which may be applied toward the Literature and the Arts category in the Liberal Studies Distribution requirement."</p>
<p>Anyone know if you can get both, if you took both AP English exams and got appropriate scores? S got a 5 in Lit and a 4 in Lang. (Most other schools I know of are clear that they only give credit for one of them, but looking at the link above, I can't tell for sure.)</p>
<p>2 years back, you could get either one of the two FWS or lib ed class in English based on your AP score. If you have a 5 in English (either one or both) go for the FWS. From experience, FWS is graded more harshly. Lib ed English class is more enjoyable.</p>
<p>Thanks 2coll. If I had to guess, that would have been my guess, but good to have it confirmed by someone with direct experience. You don’t actually have to take a lib ed English class at all, do you, in order to meet your liberal studies requirements? What class did you take that you found enjoyable?</p>
<p>You don’t have to take an English class to meet lib ed requirement but there are a lot of good classes. I took a class called Great Books which was really a wonderful class. Small class size of 19. I thought the instructor was quite good and knowledgeable.</p>
<p>wait, so im confused (im in pretty much the EXACT same position as the first 2 posters). would this mean i don’t have to take a FWS? For my liberal studies requirements, I only have to take one more 2000+ class and I’ll be done. It would seem like a waste if I have to apply my 4 on a liberal studies class seeing how I’ve fulfilled most of it already. can anyone confirm this for me?</p>
