About AP
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) offers college-level courses and exams that students can take while in high school. Since 1955, AP has enabled millions of students to take U.S. university undergraduate-level courses and earn undergraduate degree credit, advanced placement, or both. Taking AP can help students save money and time as well as stand out to colleges. With qualifying AP Exam scores, students can earn credit and/or placement from nearly all colleges and universities in the United States and Canada — as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries, and stand out in admissions.
