Welcome to the AP Program
The Advanced Placement Program is sponsored
by the College Board, a non-profit membership association. AP offers 35
college-level courses and exams in 19 subject areas for highly
motivated
students in secondary schools. Its reputation for excellence results
from
the close cooperation among secondary schools, colleges, and the
College
Board. More than
2,900 universities and colleges worldwide grant credit, advanced
placement,
or both to students who have performed satisfactorily on the exams, and
1,400 institutions grant sophomore standing to students who meet their
requirements. Approximately 13,000 high schools throughout the world
participate
in the AP Program; in May 2000, they administered more
than 1.3 million AP Exams.
