[quote=Anonymous]By way of example, I was a math major at UVa, and the major required 9 classes above multivariable/calculus 3 (3000/4000 level classes). So if you got AP credit for BC calculus, you could take multivariable in your first fall, and then start taking classes counting toward the major in your first spring. For almost every other major, students had to take prerequisite classes for at least 1-2 years Also, while there are obviously sequenced classes in math, there are a lot more sequence options, and it was really easy to get into requested classes. In contrast, other majors were much more sequenced and had classes that would fill up, students in these majors would often have to wait one or two semester to take required classes and at the same time, could not take other classes within the major.[/quote]
