NYU CAS -Morse Academic Plan

<p>By having a 4 or 5 on the AP Stats test, does this fulfill my Quantitative Reasoning portion of the M.A.P or do I still need to take more math courses at NYU?</p>

<p>high_jumper,</p>

<p>It looks like with an AP Stats exam score of 4 or 5, you would have fulfilled the Quantitative Reasoning course that is part of MAP requirements. </p>

<p>ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDIT AND THE MORSE ACADEMIC PLAN</p>

<p>AP Examination Grade<br>
MAP Requirement Satisfied<br>
Biology 4, 5 Natural Science I and II
Chemistry 4, 5 Natural Science I and II
Environmental Science 4, 5 Natural Science I
Mathematics AB 4, 5 Quantitative Reasoning
Mathematics BC 4, 5 Quantitative Reasoning
Physics B 4, 5 Natural Science I and II
Physics C—Mech. and Physics C—E&M 4, 5 Natural Science I and II
Physics C—Mech. 4, 5 Natural Science I
Physics C—E&M 4, 5 Natural Science I
Statistics 4, 5 Quantitative Reasoning</p>

<p>I am fairly certain that is it. S fulfilled the Quantitative Reasoning class with his AP Calc AB exam score and I believe he told me he is done with math unless he wants to take it for an elective.</p>

<p>If an AP has no course equivalent, like English Literature with a score of 4 or 5, and but is worth 4 points, does it mean that to graduate from NYU, you will now only need 124 points, as 4 points out of the required 128 to graduate would be effectively earned through the AP credit?</p>

<p>So if an incoming student has gor 4 or 5 in say 7 APs, he could effectively transfer 28 points from his APs and so will only need 100 points by taking classes at NYU?</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but am just trying to understand these AP equivalency and NYU course equivalency issues.</p>

<p>It is not a dumb question as it takes awhile to figure out which AP exam scores get credit and what kind of credit.</p>

<p>1) Yes, the 4 credits for AP English Lit exam score of 4 or 5 would mean you have taken an “elective” course and it does reduce the total number of credits you have to take at NYU to 124.</p>

<p>2) You can receive a maximum of 32 AP (or other college?) credits towards the NYU degree requirement of 128 credits to graduate from NYU CAS. Just make sure the 7 APs cited as an example are all accepted for NYU course equivalents or as elective credits. For instance, my son got a 5 in the AP English Language Exam and that particular exam is not accepted at all at NYU.</p>

<p>Evolving, thanks for your helpful reply. </p>

<p>In the link you provided, for “ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDIT AND THE MORSE ACADEMIC PLAN”, AP Art History is not listed at all</p>

<p>However, if one goes to the “ADVANCED PLACEMENT EQUIVALENCIES” list at [NYU</a> > CAS > Bulletin 2010 - 2012 > Admission](<a href=“http://cas.nyu.edu/object/bulletin1012.ug.admission#APCREDIT]NYU”>http://cas.nyu.edu/object/bulletin1012.ug.admission#APCREDIT)</p>

<p>one finds that a 4 or 5 in AP Art History is equivalent to ARTH-UA 1
course, and that course is an approved departmental course (listed as “ARTH-UA 1 History of Western Art I”) for Expressive Culture. i.e if a student takes this course, that will fulfill the Expressive Culture requirement of MAP, but if the student has a 4 or 5 score in AP Art History, that is considered as equivalent to this course</p>

<p>So why is AP Art History not listed on the MAP site under “ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDIT AND THE MORSE ACADEMIC PLAN”? </p>

<p>Am I missing something here, or is my logic that a 4 or 5 in AP Art History gives you an exemption from taking the Expressive Culture part of MAP correct?</p>

<p>I’ve basically figured out the deal with the NYU CAS AP credit. NYU accepts every type of AP credit except for:</p>

<ol>
<li>English Language</li>
<li>Human Geography</li>
<li>Music Theory</li>
<li>Studio Art</li>
</ol>

<p>NYU should have put this one sentence on the website SingaporeDon listed above instead of putting people through all this angst figuring out what credit they get.</p>

<p>SingaporeDon, Sorry I have been out of commission for awhile. So a delayed response to your question from Post #5.</p>

<p>Take a look at this link. It is more comprehensive and indicates that “Expressive Cultures” and “Societies and the Social Sciences” MAP requirements can be fulfilled with a number of options.</p>
