"AP Computer Science A is an introductory college-level computer science course. Students cultivate their understanding of coding through analyzing, writing, and testing code as they explore concepts like modularity, variables, and control structures. AP Computer Science A students will learn the Java programming language.

Computer Science is for everyone! You may think that you need special skills or equipment to study computer science. This isn’t the case for AP computer science courses: You don’t need any coding experience to take either subject."

Please note that it is recommended AP Computer Science A students have completed Algebra II with Statistics before taking the course.
