The College of Letters

<p>I can't really tell whether the BA/MA program applies to math too. Math is housed in the science tower, but I don't know whether it's part of the program for tuition-free fifth year. Here's the grad website: <a href="http://www.wesleyan.edu/grad/"&gt;http://www.wesleyan.edu/grad/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You can choose whichever AP's you want to count, although I believe if you do English, they just count it automatically since there is no follow-up course required to receive credit. Here is where you find out how your test factors in, and what score on the test and what class you have to take to get credit: <a href="http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/Adv.Placement.html"&gt;http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/Adv.Placement.html&lt;/a>. </p>

<p>Taking more than four heavy subjects at a time is not a particularly good idea, but some people do it, for various reasons. Your advisor has to approve any increases in your credit limit (four). They will usually do this with no questions if it's to take non-academic classes like dance or music, but you might run into more difficulty if you're unnecessarily taking five really hard classes with lots of reading and papers. Five challenging academic classes will really eliminate a lot of time you have for extracurricular activities like clubs or groups or sports or just hanging out and having fun. </p>

<p>One other thing to note is that you can't sign up for more than four classes during pre-registration. So you have to wrangle your way into the fifth class during drop/add anyway.</p>
