if i took an Intro to Computer Technology course as my dual credit will the academy accept this?
What if I take Computer Science AP?If you mean accept for transfer credit, almost certainly not. It's very hard to get out of the introductory computer science course (which is about 50% programming in Raptor and 50% general computer knowledge and terminology from what I remember). You may be able to talk your way into an honors version of the intro class but I'm not sure what all your intro to computer tech class will entail.
If you're looking at majoring in compsci, right now the first majors class is a programming class in Python. If you happen to have college credit in Python you may be able to validate that class, but the department will probably be fairly resistant until you can prove you know your stuff.
Like I said, they don't even mention computer sciences so you may have to take it again.
I agree, they break down validating each subject area or transferring credits for each are and computers isn't even mentioned so I assume it is not a class you can get out of taking.You almost certainly will. That's not a class people typically validate.
