<p>I just got my freshman registration packet today and as I was thinking about what classes I wanted to take, I didn’t really understand how the divisional studies fits in. For one thing, I want to be a molecular biology concentrator, which falls in the Natural Sciences Division, but a requirement for that is to take two semesters of math which falls under the Mathematics Division. Does that math requirement now fulfill my math division courses or do I have to take another two courses of math?? I would think the former, right?? Thanks. </p>
<p>BTW, as I was looking over my major requirements, how on earth does anyone double major??? I will barely fit in the requirements for one major in four years!!</p>
<p>Plus, if I got a 4 on the AP US History, would this get me out of any courses in the Social Science Division??</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that the two math courses should count toward both your concentration requirement and divisional studies, but I would check with your advisor. I believe that CAS's records office put down MA116 as satisfying both my Divisional Requirement and my Psych Stats requirement, although I'm not 100% sure (I don't think I have access to the studentlink anymore to check).</p>
<p>Yes, if you have a high enough score on AP US History (I believe a 4 or 5, you should check), you get credit for two history courses, satisfying your social science requirement.</p>
<p>Thanks ryanbis...and another question, for biology if I got a 4 (in CAS), does this mean that I have gotten out of all bio courses 105, 107, and 108?? it's that "or" word they use that I don't understand....
here's the site...it's on page 2..... <a href="http://www.bu.edu/admissions/pdfs/advanced_credit_guide.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.bu.edu/admissions/pdfs/advanced_credit_guide.pdf</a></p>
<p>You get 4 credits for either BI107 or BI108 (I'm guessing it's your choice).</p>
<p>So if my major requires BI 108, then I passed out of it and can move on to a higher level?? The freshman registration packet doesn't even mention a class higher than that one, though...</p>
<p>You should really talk to an advisor in the department (I'm sure they'll be available during orientation)--I'm not familiar with the course structure. I'm guessing that you get credit for either 107 or 108 and you have to take the one that you didn't get credit for.</p>
<p>okay, that makes sense...I will definitely talk with my advisor. Thanks so much for your help!!</p>
