Credit Hours?

<p>I'm an incoming Freshman who's going to major in bioengineering. The degree requirements list online says "The curriculum for a B.S. degree in bioengineering requires 94 credit hours, which count towards the total of 134 hours required in order to graduate."
With a total of 24 distribution hours, that's 118 hours. So what about the other 16? Can you just get them from wherever you want?</p>

<p>Bump…come on, it’s kinda pressing, I need to decide soon which AP tests I’m going to take…</p>

<p>Go online and see which AP tests Rice accepts for division credit…</p>

<p>That’s not what I’m asking though. I already know which ones I’ll be able to use for distribution credit. I just want to know if I can use credit hours that come from AP tests that don’t count for distribution (specifically, English Literature) to count in the other 16.</p>

<p>Yes, I’m pretty sure you can… for all the ap tests listed in that bulletin, you get graduation credit. But I’m not 100 percent sure.</p>
