Advanced Placement (AP)

AP courses give students the opportunity to take college level coursework and earn college credit while in high school. Courses are taught at a high level and culminate with an AP exam. Students in an AP course are expected to take the corresponding AP exam.

Students who score a 3 or higher (on a scale of 1-5) are eligible to receive college credit. It's up to the attending institution as to how they award credit. Some may require an AP score higher than a 3 to award credit.

Curious how AP credit transfers to various colleges/universities? Use the AP Credit Policy Search to find out.
