AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes, energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions.

The AP Biology course is equivalent to a two-semester college introductory biology course for biology majors.

Prerequisites:

Students should have successfully completed high school courses in biology and chemistry.
