Does AP credit reduce the number of courses required for graduation?
Usually not. B.S.E. students still have to take 36 courses over four years. But if you have a lot of AP credit, which must include AP credit in Physics, then you may be eligible for a program called Advanced Standing, which will allow you to graduate in 3 or 3.5 years and take fewer courses. Although a number of B.S.E. students are eligible for Advanced Standing each year, not very many elect to take it.
