Advanced Placement (AP) courses enable academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies and earn college credit, advanced placement or both while still in high school. By making the decision to take one of the many AP courses offered across the curriculum, students demonstrate to admissions offices that they have the will and skill to challenge themselves with the most rigorous course work available and to master the critical thinking, problem solving, language immersion and/or effective writing necessary to succeed at the college level. University faculty members play a vital role in ensuring that AP courses align with higher education standards. Each course concludes with a college-level assessment developed and scored by college and university faculty as well as experienced AP teachers. Research consistently supports the assertion that performing well on AP exams is a pathway to success in college according to CollegeBoard. Students in all AP courses are required to take the corresponding AP exams in May.
