Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

AP courses are taught by highly qualified high school teachers who use the AP Course Descriptions to guide them. The Course Description for each discipline outlines the course content, describes the curricular goals of the subject, and provides sample examination questions. While the Course Descriptions are a significant source of information about the course content on which the AP Exams will be based, AP teachers have the flexibility to determine how this content is presented. AP Courses are college level coursework and with successful completion (score of 3, 4 or 5) on the May test, a student may earn college credit. The rigorous content of these courses include the expectation of at least one hour of homework per night.

UG offers an AP information night in the spring and all interested AP students and parents are encouraged to attend to see what each teacher requires in their course.
