Some colleges require 4 History credits, and my school doesn't even offer that many

<p>So i want to go to NYU and they need 4 history credits, but I don't even have 4 history credits to take without repeating categories i've taken before.</p>

<p>does AP Phycology, world religions, geography, etc count?</p>

<p>what should i do?</p>

<p>i think all of those except psych count. and i dont think NYU requires 4 history credits, because most students only have 2-3.5 tops</p>

<p>Are you sure they don't mean social studies credits?</p>

<p>yea, i'm sure
it definitly said history
i double checked</p>

<p>NYU only requires at a minimum of 3 years of social studies and/or history. Don't worry about it. When it comes to social studies, psychology, religions, geography classes etc. definitely do count.</p>

<p>"Since our applicants come from a broad range of high schools from around the United States and many foreign countries, it is difficult to recommend a single course of study that would maximize your chances of admission. However, we would expect your preparation to include the following: four years of English with a heavy emphasis on writing, 3-4 years of history/social studies, 3-4 years of mathematics, 3-4 years of a laboratory science, and 2-3 years of a foreign language. Please note that these are minimum requirements for consideration. Students most competitive for admission will exceed these minimums."</p>
