<p>You have to have 120 credits to graduate but only 100 of them have to be from Arts and Sciences. </p>
<p>The other 20 can be from other colleges at Cornell or from APs. </p>
<p>I suspect that most of the students in A&S who graduate early have lots of AP credits. If you have the full 20, you only have to take 16 or 17 credits a semester, which is do-able.</p>
<p>There are some specific rules for graduating in six semesters. Go to [Courses</a> of Study 2008-2009: College of Arts and Sciences](<a href=“404 | CUinfo | Cornell University”>404 | CUinfo | Cornell University) and search for the heading Acceleration. It will tell you what you need to know.</p>
