Simple question on AP credits

<p>Hello, I just want to ask this just to make sure. So my major (Sociology) requires for me to take one history course, but I also have AP credit for European History which is supposedly equivalent to HIS 4B/4C. Does this mean I don’t have to take the history course?</p>

<p>I get confused because some say AP classes don’t count for GE’s, but I’m wondering if it counts for major requirements. Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes, it would count towards the major requirement.</p>

<p>Basically, APs get you out of prerequisites, but do not count for GE credit. For example, I got a 5 on Calc BC and got to go straight to math 21C, skipping 21A and 21B.</p>
