Background: The
Advanced Placement (AP) Program was established over 40 years ago by the
College Board, a national nonprofit organization. AP consists of college-level
courses in 21 subject areas.
AP
programs provide incentives for public high schools in California to provide
access to rigorous, college-level courses for interested and prepared students.
With such programs, students may pursue college-level work while still in
secondary school and receive college credit, advanced academic standing, or
both.
AP
courses are recognized by virtually all public and private universities.
Successful completion of AP courses, and the related tests, can greatly help
students in the very competitive process of university admission.
