Does AP credit count toward the science requirement?
A9: No. AP credit counts toward the number of points required for graduation, but it does not count towards fulfillment of the science requirement. You can fulfill your Columbia science requirement by taking courses in other sciences (or math) or by taking biology courses at Columbia. See answer to Q1 for details on biology courses for science majors and answer to Q4 for details on courses for nonscientists. (Note: If you had a good AP course in any science, the courses for nonscientists in that field may be too elementary.
