What is Advanced Placement? The Advanced Placement (AP) is a
program sponsored by the College Board which offers standardized
courses to high school students that are generally recognized to
be equivalent to undergraduate courses in college. Participating
colleges grant credit to students who obtained high enough
scores on the exams to qualify. AP provides motivated and
academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn
college credit or placement and helps them stand out in the
college admissions process. Taught by dedicated, passionate AP
teachers who bring expert teaching skills to the classroom, AP
courses help students develop the study skills, habits of mind,
and critical thinking skills that they will need in college. AP
is accepted by more than 3,600 colleges and universities
worldwide for college credit, advanced placement, or both on the
basis of successful AP Exam grades. This includes over 90
percent of four-year institutions in the United States. Click on
