THE ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM® (AP®)
College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® is recognized by universities around the world as a standard of academic excellence. Since 1955, the AP® Program has enabled millions of students to take U.S. university undergraduate-level courses and earn undergraduate degree credit, advanced placement, or both while still in high school/secondary school. Nearly all colleges and universities in the United States and Canada — as well as more than 500 universities in 75 countries such as the U.K., Canada, and Australia— consider AP participation favorably for admission and have policies around AP credit and placement.
AP benefits enable motivated students like you to:
- Stand out in university admissions
- Earn university credit
- Skip introductory university classes
- Save money on tuition
- Build skills and confidence
- Earn higher first-year grades at university (per Research).
