How best to use AP and college credit to "place out"

@CU123 ,@exacademic, and @DunBoyer, Thanks!!! =D>

Just to clarify the above, by “both” I mean HUM (which all first-years take) and SOSC (open to first-years and second-years). Social science majors are now encouraged to take both as first-years (not sure if this is a change from past practices), but for STEM majors there’s little harm in splitting up these reading-heavy courses. I feel like I’d have gotten more out of my SOSC seminars as a second-year.

“Several AP courses, with a good score, will provide credit for Calc 151. AP statistics can provide your second math Core credit.” I don’t believe you can use AP Statistics credit with a Calc credit to satisfy gen ed requirement. Footnote on The Curriculum page: *MATH 13100 Elementary Functions and Calculus I, MATH 15100 Calculus I, MATH 16100 Honors Calculus I, and MATH 16210 Honors Calculus II (IBL) may be used to meet the general education requirement in mathematical sciences only if MATH 13200 Elementary Functions and Calculus II, MATH 15200 Calculus II, MATH 16200 Honors Calculus II, or MATH 16210 Honors Calculus II (IBL)​ is also taken. Statistics AP credit may not be used in combination with a calculus course, with STAT 20000 Elementary Statistics, or with STAT 22000 Statistical Methods and Applications."

@DunBoyer and @Lea111!

@Lea111 Good catch.

I wanted to add to DunBoyer’s excellent summary that it is possible to satisfy the CIV requirement by taking a quarter abroad at one of UChicago’s centers: Rome, Paris, Athens, Beijing, Barcelona, Pune, Hong Kong, Dakar, Cairo, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Morocco, Vienna, and Oaxaca. (Winter quarter in Barcelona, anyone?) My D’16, a bio major, did that.

Thanks, @momzhood!
