Prerequisites for Cypress College

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello all, I have a few questions about the Cypress prequisites as well as the point system. I understand them, however, I have will have taken 12 AP classes by the time I'm done with high schools. Some are AP English Language as well as Composition, a foreign language, history, and psychology. My question is, will the psychology class satisfy the general psychology elective? Will my other exams satisfy the other ones like Humanities? Also, how many college classes can I do at a time and how long will it take before I'm done with the prerequisites? And on the point system, it says one point for "1 point is awarded for student success coursework (eg. cultural understanding, introduction to nursing, career planning, review courses other than GE requirements, study skills, etc.)"??? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be able to know the time span because ultimately I want to so a Rn-bsn program and later attend crna school as soon as I can. Thank you and enjoy the Thanksgiving coming up.

Your best bet is to contact the counselor in the health science. Both are very knowledgable. Now if your AP classes or testing satisfy the college requirement towards your associate degree fully then it would work the same way. If they do not fulfill the units then it won't. So without knowing that it is very complicated to know how long it would take. That being said not a single person in my class was under 20 so I'm assuming they had to take the general Ed prereq's outside of high school. You can push it a little faster by taking anatomy which must be taken on its own then take micro and physiology together. You have to score A's in all 3 classes in order to get in ASAP and not be wait listed. You sound like a smart cookie you'll love Cypress they have an amazing program.
