Using AP credits to minor

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>I am going to be a freshman in the Health Studies/ Physical Therapy 6 year program in Sargent. I got my AP scores and got 4s on euro and english lit and a 3 on the calc AB, and by BU’s AP credit policy, i get 4 credits for math, 8 for humanities, and 8 for social science requirements. I am considering using those credits to minor in human physiology, which will only be an extra 3 classes(plus 2 others that I will take for my major).</p>

<p>Does anyone have any thoughts about this path. Am I not considering everything?</p>

<p>Also, is it worth getting the minor? My rationale is the following: my AP credits take care of some of my requirements, so I might as well take classes geared towards my potential career.</p>

<p>Does that seem logical?Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Yeah that minor would be great for what you wanna do. I’m not positive about AP’s and minors but I know if you wanna double major you can only have 2 overlapping classes, so you may only get to use 8 credits from AP’s and would have to take 4 classes rather than 3 for your minor. But then again I’m in CAS. Definitely talk to your advisor about it.</p>

<p>I checked and I would have to take 2 core classes and 3 others from a list. But, I can overlap 2 classes so I will only have to take 3 extra classes which my AP credit will allow me to do.</p>
