Advanced Placement
Taking an AP course is the best way to show your future college and university that you have what it takes to be a successful undergraduate student. It's also a sign that you’re up for the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer. When admissions officers see “AP” on your transcript, they know that what you experienced in a particular class has prepared you well for the challenges of college.

AP enables you to:
● Stand out in college admission
● Earn college credit
● Skip introductory college classes
● Save money on tuition
● Build college skills and confidence
● Explore potential majors based on your interests
● Turn subjects you love into fulfilling career paths
