AP italian 4 honors - acp

Advanced College Project (ACP) courses allow students to earn high school credit and college credit though Indiana University concurrently.  These Advanced courses are honors weighted, and because students receive transcripted credit for Italian (FRIT M250) through IU, there are additional steps needed to enroll: students must apply for acceptance into these courses, so please refer to the dual credit section of the course offering book for additional information.

Students also have the opportunity to take the College Board AP Exam at the end of the year. Students do explicitly work on the AP exam activities throughout the course in addition to completing the IU-ACP requirements.

IU -ACP vs. AP Credit:  While most universities do recognize the IU credit, the benefits of taking the AP exam will allow students to potentially receive college credit from all universities. We recommend that seniors check with their colleges of interest for which credit will transfer best. When making the decision, students should consider their proficiency level and college plans.

This course is designed to further enhance and refine students’ proficiency in Italian Language and culture.

Course objectives and goals are guided by several real-world themes where students are exposed to advanced language structures and concepts that will aid in increasing their proficiency.
