<p>AP</a> Credit | Office of the Registrar | Rice University</p>
<p>In the middle of this page is a link saying Fall 2009-Spring 2010, which leads to a list of accepted APs.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what exactly it means when it says "AP Credit in..." for an equivalent Rice Course for specific AP exams?</p>
<p>Personally, I'm wondering about Macroeconomics (NOT micro). I've searched all of rice.edu for any information related to that specific AP or the ECON 112 course stated in the pdf, but I've found absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>I'm 99.99% sure I will not be doing anything Economics-related major-wise, and I have practically zero interest in the subject.</p>
<p>Basically, would getting a 4 or 5 be of ANY (and I mean ANY) possible good use to me at all?</p>
<p>For some AP tests, you get Rice course credit (i.e. Biology, Psychology, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics C, Statistics, History APs, etc.). For those that say “AP Credit in ____________,” you only get graduation credit (you need 120 hours to graduate) and it also puts you a higher registration slot (registration is done by hours earned). Although you will not get distribution credit at Rice, you will still get the graduation credit for the AP Macro test. If you want to take a higher level Econ class, you will have to retake the introductory economics class at Rice (whereas you would not have to do so if you have AP credit for biology, chemistry, etc.).</p>
<p>Hope this helps and clears some confusion.</p>
<p>could AP Macro count for an open elective slot?</p>
<p>AP Macro will count for 3 hours of graduation credit (you need 120 hours total to graduate). However, you will not get distribution credit or major credit for taking the test. Its hard to explain if you haven’t attended Rice yet.</p>
<p>When it lists multiple classes for one test (e.g. Math 101 and Math 102 for Calc BC), does that mean those with a 4/5 in BC get credit for BOTH classes?</p>
<p>If you get a 4/5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, you get credit for BOTH MATH 101 and MATH 102, which is very nice in my opinion. It’s so nice not having to retake calculus.</p>
<p>What about math courses taken in community colleges? Will I probably have to take a placement test to get credit?</p>
<p>
I was also confused about this before, but I figured it out, and slik nik is basically saying that it will count as an elective.</p>
<p>Math courses taken in community college are a whole different ballgame. You will have to talk to the transfer credit advisor in the Rice Math Department to see if they will transfer over or not.</p>
<p>Say I wanted to do an engineering major with a double minor…
Do you think that, while doing all the necessary classes for my major and minors, I could automatically fill in the 120 hours requirement in the process?</p>
<p>Engineering majors usually require more than 120 hours… more like 130-140. Most of the classes that fulfill the 130-140 hours are engineering classes. However, you still have to take some electives and fulfill distribution requirements. I recommend that all of you check the Rice General Announcements out. You will find answers to all your academic questions there: [General</a> Announcements](<a href=“http://www.rice.edu/catalog/2009_2010/]General”>http://www.rice.edu/catalog/2009_2010/). You will also get plenty of advising during O-Week as well.</p>
<p>Thanks alot slik nik :]
You’re always the best with answering questions 
Can’t wait to meet you next year! :]</p>
