Credit awarded as "Unspecified" counts towards the 32 credits needed for graduation but does not satisfy any
major, minor or general education requirements unless noted in the Catalog.

*Students may seek Economics credit instead of Mathematics. See the Economics department chair.

**Credit may not be earned for both the Calculus AB and BC tests.

General Education for the Classes of 2011 and beyond:

Advanced Placement credit may only count if the credit awarded is accepted as a direct equivalent to a specific
Bates course (see table above). Credit awarded without an equivalency (unspecified) may not count. The
writing requirement may not be satisfied with Advanced Placement credit.
