<p>If the major requirement is a peripheral one (i.e. not a core prerequisite for other courses in the major), then skipping it with AP credit if allowed should be reasonably safe. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to try the college’s final exam for the course that you are allowed to skip to see how your knowledge stacks up against the expectations in the college course.</p>
<p>For a business major, calculus and economics would be the most applicable AP tests. Many colleges allow business majors to take a less rigorous “calculus for business majors” course, so using AP calculus credit may not be as much of a concern as it would be for a physics or engineering major. Introductory economics is usually not not that difficult a course in college anyway. But check each college for its specific details (and its old final exams).</p>
