What to take instead of AP Physics C E&M?

You can look at the AP credit charts for each of the colleges in question to see which AP scores count for subject credit. Do not be surprised if little or no subject credit for the AP sciences is given for engineering majors. Even when subject credit is given, if the student will need to take more advanced courses that require those courses that can be skipped as prerequisites, it would be a good idea for the student to try the college’s old final exams for those courses to verify her knowledge to the college’s expectations.

AP physics 2 may be of some help in initial exposure and overview of the material for later physics courses in college.
