Validating

There are some "automatic" validations, but (my understanding is) they are looked at on a case-by-case basis. Some courses do require a validation test in addition to a college grade/AP Score, though (e.g. Chem).

I looked around on the internal website for cadets, and wasn't able to find any specific guidance about which classes can be validated and which ones can't. Here's a list of classes that I know for sure can be validated:

Calc I, Calc II, Statistics, Physics I, Physics II, Chemistry I, Chemistry II, EN101, IT

There have got to be more, because a plebe last year validated something like 12 courses.

Here's a link I found on validating: http://www.dean.usma.edu/AP/

PDB - I'm not sure how the transferring scores into JUCO grades works. Admissions would probably be your best bet to figure that out.

Both semesters of Plebe history can be validated
 
Is that one semester of American history, one of World history, or two semesters of each history?

It's two semesters of US history or two semesters of world history(1 semester Western Civilization, 1 semester on a specific world region like Latin America or the Middle East).

Though the history department says the pass/fail rate is the same for both U.S. and world history, the general consensus is that world history is harder than U.S. history... probably because most people already have at least a basic understanding of American history.
