I am taking an online course for AP Calculus BC and teaching myself the material through textbooks, videos, teachers and tutors. I am a mathematics major at a community college and would like to transfer out within the next year and a half. I heard you can take the AP Calc BC exam and go straight into Multivariable Calculus. But will I still have to take Single Variable Calculus I/II for my IGETC/CSU transfer requirements? Or would I be exempt from taking them?
I was okay with taking Calc I, (I’ve already taken precalculus) taking the AP Calc BC, and going into Calc III, but what other options do I have?
A sufficiently high AP calculus score satisfies CSU GE area B4 or IGETC area 2A.

However, you should also check what your target campuses and major require in substitution of calculus 1 and/or 2. The needed AP score may be higher than the needed score to fulfill the CSU GE or IGETC area for math.
I see. Thanks!
